Controltextbox limited to 50 pages?

Bernd · 2005-05-23 21:13

i'm using controltextbox to display test in my script.
when adding very long texts l can see that the control only displays 50 pages and cuts of the rest.

is this a technical limit? since the actual number of characters doesn't seem to matter. it just cuts off the text after 50 pages.

is there any way to display longer texts? :help:

you could fake it by breaking up the text into one page at a time and having the page down/up buttons just display the next page.

would be a little tricky though...

i reviewed the c++ sourcecode and found that there is "home made" limit.
posted in the dev forum and they will change/increase that Big Grin

so no need to do workarounds :thumbsup:
