- In the XView Version 3 FCS BUG LIST:
-
- Big Id:
- Category:
- SubCategory: library
- Synopsis: Setting the PANEL_VALUE on a read only Multline text feild prepends
- the new string.
- Public Summary:
- If a PANEL_MULTILINE_TEXT item is created read only (PANEL_READ_ONLY),
- then setting a value for it using PANEL_VALUE prepends teh new string
- instead of replacing the string. Therefore the text keeps getting
- longer and longer. A multiline text field that is not read only
- behaves properly.
-
-
- When we ran into this problem, we simply set PANEL_READ_ONLY to FALSE, then
- set the PANEL_VALUE then set PANEL_READ_ONLY back to TRUE as a work around.
- Try setting the PANEL_VALUE to "" (When PANEL_READ_ONLY is set to FALSE),
- to delete the buffer.
-
- Hope this helps.
