Jump to the next line automatically

Dear all,

I am entering data into the Sales Comment Line table against a Sales Order. I want that My cursor will jump to the next line in the Sales Comment Line table automatically when current line try to contain more data (maximum characters).

Thanks !

In NAV this is quite difficult. Maybe you can use a text editor solution. There are several, even some for free in the download section.

Definitely would be difficult to do. NAV doesn't have the concept of knowing when the text in a text box is changing (don't read as has changed). You have to exit the text box in order for any changes to happen to the database. Everything up until that point is just stored in memory as something that should happen if you don't press ESC to revert to the old value.

Hi,

Do you want the cursor to automatically jump to the next line when the line has reached its maximum number of characters?
Because that is really easy to do.
Go to your form in design mode, for instance the Sales Comment Form (ID=67).
Open the properties on the "Comment" Field and set the <AutoEnter> property to "Yes".
Also set the <Next Control> property to the ID of the "Comment" field, in Form 67 that should be '4'.
Compile the form and it will now automatically jump to the next line for you when you reach the end of the line.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Willy

Doesn't help when you're in the middle of typing a word, though.

You'll get one line ending with Nav and the next starting with ision.

Thanks KYDutchie.
It's working.

You are true.

KYDutchie

yeah,

I know that is true. But you can write a small simple "wordwrap" utility that scans the previous line backwards to the first space, comma or period.
Then move that string to the beginning of the next line. I have done it once, it was no fun but got it to work.

Glad I could be of some help.
