Remarks

Some of the features provided by multiline edit controls include scrolling lines and pages and retrieving specified lines (in addition to the simple editing primitives inherited from the Edit class).

Examples

This example creates and initializes a multiline edit control:

Copy

 1CLASS MyWindow INHERIT TopAppWindow
 2HIDDEN oMyMLE AS OBJECT
 3METHOD Init() CLASS MyWindow
 4SUPER:Init()
 5p := Point{10, 10}
 6d := Dimension{100, 100}
 7oMyMLE := MultiLineEdit{SELF,100,p,d}
 8SELF:Show()
 9oMyMLE:Show()
10oMyMLE:TextValue := "New York" + _CHR(10) + "Boston"

In Windows, multiline edit controls are equivalent to an edit control created with the ES_MULTILINE style. These are normally specified in the resource entity like this:

Copy

1RESOURCE IDD_ABOUT DIALOG 20, 20, 160, 80
2STYLE WS_POPUP | WS_DLGFRAME
3BEGIN
4EDITTEXT    IDE_TEXT,10,10,90,45, ES_MULTILINE
5DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK"     IDB_OK,64,60,32,14, WS_GROUP
6END
