I'm sure I've seen this before Rolling Eyes

I'm putting some multi line text in a variable and then setting a Multi style edit element with the variable. But those darn boxes are showing up where I use a carridge return "@cr()" or new line "@chr(10)"

Anyone remember the fix for this???

Did you try @chr(13)@chr(10) ?

Hiya P

Yes, I tried that and the element showed two boxes and still had everything on one line. (Although it was wrapped).

It works for a list but a list won't give me the options I need.

Well, my workaround was this:

WINDOW SETTEXT,@winexists(~EDIT1),%%YourVariableHere

But I also will add it to a list, then do this:

LIST CREATE,1
LIST ADD,1,%%YourVariableHere
DIALOG SET,EDIT1,@text(1)

If using the list doesn't work, then I'll use the SETTEXT up there.

Hi guys:

List add not work, but list append does it:

Am I missing something or does this work?

That's weird @cr()@lf() worked but @chr(13)@chr(10) doesn't even though it is the same thing.

huh Question
