Long Text Fields (Editbox controls) in Dialog
Keywords: editbox
Question:
I would like to be able to set up a WinBatch dialog box with an EditBox type control that can display an arbitrary amount of text and which the user can update the text in that control. Is 256 characters the limit for edit text boxes for dialogs?Answer:
Ummm. Edit boxes are limited to one line. I'm not even sure they can go out to 256 characters. Maybe 80?With HTML Dialogs you can make the experience much more pleasant for the user.
Or write the data to a tempfile and runwait Notepad on the tempfile and have them close notepad when they are done.
Then you can read the file and see what they did.
