[DUG]: Displaying text.

[Colin&Mina]

Hi folks,     Some help please.     I need to create a text area on a form into which I can write characters received from a com port. Getting the characters is not a problem I can put them into an edit box but it doesn't suit because it fills up to the point where I can't see them any more.    I figured it would be easiest to put a memo box on and use that but obviously I dont know what I doing.     I don't mind how it's done but preferably the characters would just keep scrolling in at the bottom of the text, and overflow into another line at say 80 chars.  <cr> and <lf> would do their thing. Maybe tell me how to (optionally) clear the text area as well.   For some reason I cant find this in the help or literature though I'm sure it's pretty simple.   Thanks   Colin       Colin R Dillicar Colmin Associates Auckland  New Zealand [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph +64 9 834 4040
