Notepad as editor for looong texts in Nav 2015

jensthomsen

Hi
Has anyone succeeded in using Notepad for editing long text?

Problem solved I just created a page of type 'StandardDialog' with a textvariable (Length = '') and placed it in a gridlayout. The property 'Multiline' of the textbox must be set equal to TRUE. In this way I have a textbox which can be re-sized in both directions.

Notepad?
summernote.org/ is perfectly compatible to use as a control add-in. But most wysiwyg editors (javascript) will work fine.

I wouln't use that! It's an old-skool winforms addin. Hard to maintain and not compatible with anything but the windows client.
