Subject: [DUG]: Displaying text.
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.
There's a terminal component in the ICS distribution
that would probably be better suited, but if you don't mind the peculiarities of
the memo then try it with word-wrap enabled and just a vertical scroll
bar.
