memo control

[Jim Short]

I need a simple form with a multi-line textbox that word wraps to display some help text. If it is set Read Only the background color will be gray. What I am trying to show is a windows memo box that is not exposed in OpenDCL. Can anyone think of a work around like using an ActiveX control to show a pdf?

Can you use a Label control? You can set label background color to white if you need a white background.

Hi, Jim, I solved that with a html control showing some help.
So I can also highlight some words.

Owen, I had tried the label and it does not word wrap.
What Fred said is interesting and I am going to check that out.

Thanks to you both.
Jim

I spoke too soon,
Use a Label with white background.
Word wrap and line feed will show at runtime.
Thanks Owen.

Hi, sorry Jim, that I must disagree: label actually do word wrap - if the control's height allow that.

Jim - if you have any experience with HTML that's the way to go. As Fred said you have many more text options and you can embed images / diagrams.
