multiple lines for CXTPControlEdit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello experts,

I am working on adding a text area (Multiple lines of text), but not sure why it's not working.
What I want to is... 
While a user is entering some text, if the text is long, some words need to be moved to the next line. (That is, "word wrap")
Here is my code. 

	m_slide_description = new CXTPControlEdit;
	m_slide_description->SetTooltip(_T("Set description for slide."));
	m_slide_description->SetFlags(m_slide_description->GetFlags() | xtpFlagControlStretched);
	m_slide_description->SetEnabled(true);
	m_slide_description->SetEditText(TO_WIDE(PresentationDesigner::get().getScene().getDescription()));
	m_slide_description->SetEditStyle(ES_MULTILINE);
	m_slide_description->SetWidth(200);
	m_slide_description->SetHeight(500);
	AddControl(_T("Slide Desc"), m_slide_description);

Any advice would be appreciated. 
Thanks

	m_slide_description->SetWrap(TRUE); Also don't use ES_AUTOHSCROLL style. "If you specify the ES_AUTOHSCROLL style, the multiline edit control automatically scrolls horizontally when the caret goes past the right edge of the control."
