Textbox Multiline Maxlength Wrap

[antvon]

Hi all

I would like to know if its possible to make
a multiline textbox wrap to a set length on
each line.

I know that u can use the maxlength property
to set the length for the entire control and
that the wrap property can be use to wrap when
the text gets to the control border.

If I use maxlength then it only works for the
whole control and not each line.
If I use wrap then won't the the number of
characters be effected by the users font settings
and thus vary from font size to font size.

I would basically like to read the textbox lines
and populate a field in a table that is only 45
chars in size.Each line would be a new record.

Perhapes I'm looking at it the wrong why but can't
think of a better way or control to use.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Anton

You may want to look into using a different control. Since you are looking at data and each record is going to be 45 characters, maybe a list box would better suit your needs. Or if you need editing abilities, a Data Grid.

Hi Rick

Firstly my most humble apologies for not posting a reply
sooner. I have regrettably assigned to a client for the last to weeks at their premises.

Secondly, thanks for your reply. I am still looking into the two controls you mentioned.

Thanks again.
