xtpEditStyleMultiline

Hi

 

If you use the code I entered below, you can enter text on multiple lines.

What my customers are asking.....

 

   1   Can we use enter and not Control & enter to get a new line.

   2   Can the row grow as we enter a new line.

 

 

Thanks

 

Mark

 

 wndReportControl.AllowEdit = True
 wndReportControl.SetCustomDraw xtpCustomMeasureRow

 wndReportControl.Columns.Add 0, "Notes", 200, True

 Set rRec = wndReportControl.Records.Add
 Set rItem = rRec.AddItem("Some Text")
 rItem.CreateEditOptions
 rItem.EditOptions.EditControlStyle = xtpEditStyleMultiline + xtpEditStyleAutoVScroll

 Set rRec = wndReportControl.Records.Add
 Set rItem = rRec.AddItem("And Some Text")
 rItem.CreateEditOptions
 rItem.EditOptions.EditControlStyle = xtpEditStyleMultiline + xtpEditStyleAutoVScroll

 wndReportControl.Populate
End Sub

Thanks for your reply Aaron.

Shame about the auto size when editing an item, but would be great if CJ added this.

Hi,

@Aaron: It should be possible to detect that a user has pressed the Enter key using "PreviewKeyDown" then using ReportControl.Navigator.BeginEdit to reselect the cell for editing. I have done so but in my code this is used to move onto the next editable cell.

Although this does mean the cursor would move out of it's position when the cell being edited regains focus, unless there's a way of storing the cursor position and resetting it, but I doubt it.

Yes thanks to you both.
