    Posted: 28 May 2008 at 8:27pm
I've got a property grid as follows:


   With Me.gridOwner
      .VariableItemsHeight = True
     
      Set objCat = .AddCategory("Contact Information")
      With objCat
         .Expandable = False
         .Expanded = True
      End With
     
      Set objItem = objCat.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "Main Contact Name", "")
     
      Set objItem = objCat.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "Company", "")
     
      Set objItem = objCat.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "Mailing Address", "")
      With objItem
         .MultiLinesCount = 3
      End With
     
     
   End With


The grid appears as expected, and the third child item is a multiline edit box that allows 3 lines of text (so far so good). The only problem is that the user must press Ctrl+Enter instead of just Enter to enter multiple lines of text in the multiline item.

Is there any way to have the Enter key go to the next line in a multiline edit item, or are we stuck with Ctrl+Enter (that is, is it a training issue)?

Thanks a lot.

Jason,
 
I am afraid you will get stuck with Ctrl-Enter for now.

There is workaround
 
Const ES_WANTRETURN = &H1000
 
Item.MultiLinesCount = 3
Item.EditStyle = ES_WANTRETURN

Thanks Олег
Are there more workarounds we don't know of?

Hi Oleg
 
That's OK.
I have been working several years with MS controls so I'm used to it
