Something similar to EM_LIMITTEXT but to control height?
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 06:19 AM

How do we control a multiline get where we have a very specific requirement on both its width and length?

For example, keying-in a default footer of 40 x 5 i.e. 40 characters wide and 5 lines in height.

Using EM_LIMITTEXT message, I could set it to 40x5 (200) but the control would stop accepting input only if user key-in more than 200 characters. If a user enter the 1st line, then keep on pressing Enter afterwards he'll easily go beyond the 5th line.

Any neat way to resolve this apart from using 5 control of single-line Get and stack them up one another?

Disable Enter key by

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

ON INIT oGet:WinStyle( ES_WANTRETURN, .f. )

Then the user can enter only 200 characters and can not use Enter key at all.
