Hi,
If you set for example MultiLinesCount = 3 , you can type as many lines as you want. I thought this would prevent the user from typing more than 3 lines, but it isn't ?!?

Hi,
By default user can't enter more than 3 lines.
Guess you have
Item.EditStyle = EditStyleAutoVscroll
line. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Aaron, I've found that if you use PropertyItemString instead of PropertyItemMultilineString then the number of lines will be limited to MultilinesCount. You won't get the drop-down editor though, so make sure you have set the VariableItemsHeight property to true for the PropertyGrid to show all of the lines. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Hi,
Did you try to enter more than 3 lines? I think Oleg doesn't believe when I say it you can enter more than 3 lines in the multiline item. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 15.0.2 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 2 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 Zero replies is not an option.... |

When I use PropertyItemString I cannot enter more than 3 lines. When I use PropertyItemMultilineString I can enter more than 3 lines...

Hi,
oh... you mean with Popup edit of PropertyItemMultilineString item ?
Yes, with this edit you can.
I mean you can't enter in Edit part of item. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Oleg, I meant with the PropertyItemString item, so your advice worked perfectly regarding the Enter key in the edit part. I believe that Aaron's complaint is with the PropertyItemMultilineString as it allows you to type more lines than defined in the MultiLinesCount property...this may be by design, but it would be nice if it either honoured the MultilinesCount property by default, or if there was a flag to get it to honour the MutilinesCount property. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |
