1) The text box must be enough high...
2) The text must include spaces or comas etc. to Navision be able to wrap the text...

Angelo

                                                 CaptionML=ENU=Control }
  }
  CODE
  {
    VAR
      MLText@1000000000 : Text[1000];
      Text000@1000000001 : TextConst 'ENU=This is some multiline text which will be wraped on the form to more than one line. If you want edit this line, you will get one line edit box...';

    BEGIN
    END.
  }
}

Do not forget, that if you focus on this edit box, you will get one line, because text box in edit mode is only one line...

Angelo

I mean, I want it not become one line again when I edit text in text box.is Navision can not be like that,Kine?

Hello!
My first time here so ... I hope someone can F1 me. [-o<

I used STRLEN for long text variables, but that does not help solving my problem completely. On documents (reports) i have two sections for printing STRLEN(description) <= 40 and STRLEN(description)> 40. But there is a difference in physical width of characters so sometimes a string of more than 40 chars is printed as one line but on the second section (textbox-height for two lines).
'i' and 'W', UPPERCASE ... !!! ](*,)
Is it possible to get an information on phisical properties of a string or character or to calculate it somehow?

Thanx and bye,
:-k Romzy
