Plex 2E

Can an Edit Box(Text field ) be resizable at run-time?

For example if a field length is about 3000chars and we made it fix to 100chars per line and height is 3. So, user can see 300 chars at one go. If user is entering more than 300 chars then field should streachable/increase inorder to allow user to see whole text/message entered ?

I am aware of vertical scroll bar property which is used to see whole text by scrolling down but user needs whole text to be displayed at runtime.

yes sure see plex help  for Source code: WINAPI/SetControlSize

{

  HWND hWnd = ObPanelAPI::GetControlHandleByName( &(1:) );

::SetWindowPos( hWnd, NULL, 0, 0, &(2:), &(3:),

                  SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOREPOSITION|SWP_NOZORDER );

}

Note:

• you could call Source code: WINAPI/GetControlSize  to find out current size
• Scroll Bars = NONE
• Scrolling = Vertical

To find out the height required you could do some guess work by getting text length and division or more accutately you have to GetTextExtentPoint32  and   GetTextMetrics

See StellaTools.Abstract.OBJECTS.Msc.GetTextExtentPoint32

Should this not be in the Plex forum rather than 2E?

There is no 2E forum. Just assigned "categories" when a post is made. I've already moaned about this, so won't bother again...

Ok I used wrong terminology ...so shouldn't the category be Plex instead of 2E so that when I select to display category 2E I would not have to see this discussion?  I don't remember...is selecting a category mandatory when creating a discussion?  If not, shouldn't it be?  And is there a way to edit the category on a discussion?

The category isn't 2E, it's both, but I digress.

Selecting a category wasn't mandatory for me...

I imagine that the OP can change their OP...

Thank you for the response George!
