Re: [WiX-users] Multiline edit control
Hey Eddy, I have an edit box that I am using as a multiline, you have to use CTRL + ENTER to create a hard return in the edit box. Perhaps your height isn't big enough?

Re: [WiX-users] multiline edit control type
If anything, it's a limitation of Windows Installer - not WiX. WiX just writes control/dialog entries in the MSI database, Windows Installer implements the actual UI. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368342(VS.85).aspx for documentation on the control itself.

Based on the documentation it looked like a standard control of type=Edit and multiline=yes would work. Control Id=UNCSharesEdit Type=Edit Multiline=yes X=105 Y=168 Width=220 Height=54 Property=UNCSHARES / However, when I implemented this dialog I discovered that the control was not behaving as I would expect. When I typed random characters in the field and hit 'Enter' nothing happened. I tried 'Shift-Enter' (I've seen chat programs and the like use this when 'Enter' is used for something else)to get a new line and still nothing happened. It wasn't until after much frustration and research I happened on a whim to try 'Ctrl-Enter' that it finally worked. Is this really how the multiline functionality is expected to behave? If so, is this a limitation in WIX or in the underlying Windows Installer? The way it is we don't feel that customers would know how to use the UI unless we spelled it out for them in help text, and we obviously are not anxious to do that either. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone might have. Thank you!
