Text Multiline option

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

I have a form field with Multiline option = yes, but in my form when I insert text in my field, all text is one line only and I pretend the text in more than one line. This is because my form is too smal to se all text at the same time, and the only solution is text shared on more than one line.

How can I do It?

Hi Luana,

I’m not really sure what you are trying to do.

When you create multiline control on a form, then when entering the text Navision will display the text as only one line, but when you press enter, then it will show it as multiline.

Hi Luana,

Two other solutions:

  1. create text variables ( e.g. 30 chars) and assign them to a number of control placed together and with autoenter turned on. Then to save concatinate the text variable together. To display break up the string into the pieces (30 chars)

  2. Call an external editor e.g. notepad and write/read from the text file created.
