Does anyone know how to write a new line when adding text to a text box. I have tried using '\n' but no new line. Help!

Hi,

Obviously you are using scripting, and the "\n" should work. Can you give an example of a few lines of code on what you are doing?

PS: If you happen to be working with Input Boxes, make sure on the Properties Tab >> "Text Input" - you have multiple line option selected.

Many thanks Steve; that solves the new line problem, but how do I stop the user accessing the input box i.e. placing the cursor in the box and adding or editing the text?

Hi beebotter,

Does it have to be an input box? - can it be a text box with an inserted variable?

If it has to be an Input Box then use the "Disable Object" found in the Actions GUI. That will stop the use of the input box. (you can enable it again if you like)

If you like using script and the input box is called "InputBoxOne", then a script of the following will disable access to it.

//code
InputBoxOne.Enable(false)


//Hope this helps

Many thanks for the script and the advice Steve.
