Not working :(
I can not entry a return into the text area.
I have this line of code in my form method:
utl_text_Text_Entry_Filter (->[Department]Address)
//(m) utl_text_Text_Entry_Filter
//$1 - pointer - to text entry area
C_POINTER($1;$Text_Area)
C_TEXT($Filter;$0)
$Text_Area:=$1
$Filter:="&"+Quote_Char+Char(13)
$Filter:=$Filter+Semi_Colon_Char+Text_Filter
$Filter:=$Filter+Semi_Colon_Char+(2*BackSlash_Char)+Quote_Char
$0:=$Filter
OBJECT SET FILTER(($Text_Area->;$Filter)
Text_Filter =
a-z;A-Z;0-9;_;-;:;`;.;&;^;%;@;(;);[;{;];};<;>;,;/;#;|;~;=;+;*;$;?;!;';_;.;,
- I can enter all of the characters listed in the text filter, except a
return
- There is no button tied to return
- I removed the original filter I had on the address field
- I removed the code behind the address field
- I cleared the key short cut (enter) for the accept button
- There is no object accepting return as a shortcut
- (debugging) after Object Set Filter, Object Get Filter returns a
filter which includes '\r'
- I placed the return at the front of the filter
- I placed the return at the end of the filter
- I added Char(10), just in case.
- The final filter looks correct in the debugger
4Final_Filter : =
&"\r;\n;a-z;A-Z;0-9;_;-;:;`;.;&;^;%;@;(;);[;{;];};<;>;,;/;#;|;~;=;+;*;$;?;!;';_;.;,;\\"
Any Help
Thank
