If you have enabled multiline support in a report control, you most certainly want the enter key to behave as "insert new line character" instead of cancelling the editing. See code below. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a SetCancelOnReturn(BOOL bCancel)-method?

void CXTPReportInplaceEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
    if (!pControl)
        return;
    if (nChar == VK_TAB) return;
    // if (nChar == VK_ESCAPE || nChar == VK_RETURN)
    // FIX: Take "want return" style into account
    if (nChar == VK_ESCAPE || (nChar == VK_RETURN && !(GetStyle() & ES_WANTRETURN)))
    {
        pControl->EditItem(NULL);
        return;
    }
    ...
}

If I want this change immediately, do I have to compile the whole source or can I somehow subclass this control? I cannot come up with a nice solution.

Thanks!

Thanks for a suggestion, easier is to compiler the whole source.

BTW, if you use a solution from a topic: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4700 - http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4700 , i.e.
pColumn->GetEditOptions()->m_dwEditStyle |= ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL; -- you can insert new line char with Ctrl+Enter

Actually, it's easier to make a little hack. Here's a solution if anybody else encounters the same problem:

BOOL CMyView::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
    if (pMsg->message == WM_CHAR && pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN)
    {
        if (m_myReport.GetInplaceEdit()->IsWindowVisible())
            pMsg->wParam = 0x0A;    // Ctrl+Enter. Voil�!
    }
    return CXTResizeFormView::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

I am able to set the multiline property by applying

pColumn->GetEditOptions()->m_dwEditStyle |= ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL;

but ES_AUTOVSCROLL is not setting. Please see attached screenshot.

any other way to set it?
