Thanks Jan. Yeah - I got the follow-up about the WordWrap.
So - yeah - that's the trick - literally putting the Equal sign into the
caption setting - it WORKED!!!
Now I remember that from the past - as that was the trick. A trick even the
AI's didn't realize was a way to make it work.
Writing "raw" text into property VFP saves without any change, including
CRL+LR. Using "=" evaluates it.
Thanks again!!!
-Kurt

I have this screen created by a prior programmer - and, it's weird. There is a
TON of code that I have never seen people do this before. Instead of setting
various controls at Design time - the person put code in Methods - which set
various control settings at run time!
And, there are a TON of data grids on the screen. I am trying to move the settings into design
time. But, the one thing I am having a problem with is this double height grid header - where the
person had a number of the headings displaying on 2 lines. In particular, "Order #" -
where the "#" symbol gets displayed on the 2nd line. The following line does make it
work, when it runs at run time:
THISFORM.grdInProcess.column1.header1.CAPTION="Order"+CHR(13)+"#"
However, putting that value into the Caption field at design time - it doesn't
work.
And, I've been trying a bunch of stuff. Including - typing "Order" into the Caption property,
then pressing Ctrl+Enter to insert a line break, then typing in "#" - but, that did not work.
And, that suggestion was made by both Claude AI & CoPilot.
It's been a number of years since I last did a 2-line header in a grid. I know
it can be done - and I thought for sure it could be done at Design time. But,
I'm just kinda stumped on how to make it work!
Thanks in advance for any Assist on this one!
-Kurt
At design time write direct into Caption or into zoom box of Caption:
=("1. line"+chr(13)+chr(10)+"2. line")
