I have a multiline (let's say 3, it doesn't matter) field, and am going to insert more text into it than fits on those three lines (but it does fit within the limits of the field, no problem). I use two statements: FldInsert(fld,theChars,StrLen(theChars)); FldSetScrollPosition(fld,0); The first of these inserts the text, the second makes sure the text is positioned so the user can view the "top" of the field. Now, the problem is that although the end result is exactly what I want, when the text is inserted, the visual appearance is one of "scrolling text" as the text "flows" into the field. What I want is for the text to simply appear, as it would if I inserted one line of text in a one line field (or two lines in a two line field). I've tried things like FrmHideObject/FrmShowObject but so far haven't hit on a combination of actions which gives me the visual effect I want. Anyone with any suggestions on this point?
