Something similar to EM_LIMITTEXT but to control height?
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:19 am
How do we control a multiline get where we have a very specific requirement on both its width and length?
For example, keying-in a default footer of 40 x 5 i.e. 40 characters wide and 5 lines in height.
Using EM_LIMITTEXT message, I could set it to 40x5 (200) but the control would stop accepting input only if user key-in more than 200 characters. If a user enter the 1st line, then keep on pressing Enter afterwards he'll easily go beyond the 5th line.
Any neat way to resolve this apart from using 5 control of single-line Get and stack them up one another?
TIA
