Which control for edit

[franco]

Hi to all, it`s been awhile.
which control would be best for memoedit. the rest works ok.


procedure message
local memfile, mem_var
memfile := 'message.mem'
if file(memfile)
mem_var =HB_MEMOREAD(memfile)
(HERE i NEED A FIXED LENGTH EDITBOX * mem_var = MEMOEDIT(mem_var,15,2,17,69,.F.))
mem_var = (mem_var,69,5) // 69 CHARACTERS 5 LINES ONLY
hb_memowrit(memfile,mem_var)

endif

return

Hello Franco.
Already you tried with EDITBOX control ?

Code: Select all

@ <nRow> ,<nCol>
            EDITBOX<ControlName>
            WIDTH <nWidth>                        // maybe 150 ?
            HEIGHT <nHeight>
            VALUE <cValue>                       // "mem_var"
            FONT <cFontName>                    // "Consolas"
            SIZE <nFontSize>                         // 12 ?
            MAXLENGTH <nInputLength>            //  69

Thanks for the quick response.
maxlenth does not work for me
I should have said a fixed ***LINE*** length and word wrap.
is there a word processor type control I could use, so when editing or typing so it does not go out of the end of the control box and has no scroll bars.

Hi
try setting maxlength + noscrollbars + correct fontsize and width / heigth of the editbox control.
