Which control should I use?

[mpsoutine]

Hi,

Can anyone point out which type of control will allow me to uses the return key when entering text. My program is set up as follows: Click on an edit button and a dialog box appears. This dialog consists of various edit controls for entering a single line of text. I'm looking for a control that will allow me to enter muliple line of text. All the information from this dialog box is then used to update a database.

A multi line edit control will do that if you just check the Want Return property or set it to true if you are using VC7.

You can use an ordinary CEdit control for this.

Look at the "styles" tab on the controls properties, check "Multi line" and "Want return" and you can use the CEdit as a multi line text control - and pressing Return won't click the default button while the edit control has focus.
