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

Hi Mark,
 
I think you have live with it... You could set Column.Alignment = xtpAlignmentWordBreak and user can see more of the editing field while typing. But a autoresize would be handy  I will add this to my list and maybe CJ feels like to add this request.

Thanks for your reply Aaron.

Shame about the auto size when editing an item, but would be great if CJ added this.
Any idea about the newline using just enter?
 
I have put a support call in to CJ for this, but as yet no reply.
 
Thanks
 
Mark

Hi Mark,
 
I don't see a way to add newline with ENTER key. The editing stops when using ENTER key so... Guess we have to wait for CJ
 
Good luck

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.

Hi,
 
I tried that but it didn't start edit so I gave up on that option. I think CJ needs to help Mark (and maybe others who need this)
 
Thanks though for looking at this
