- Is there a reasonable way to access an editText item in a Modal
- dialog having more than 255 Characters? I know that a Dialog
- Record has a normal TErecord to hold the text: the bottleneck limiting
- edit text dialog items to 255 seems to be the GetDItem arguments,
- which are Str255.
-
- Even better, does anyone know of a CDEF or hunk of code available to
- put a scrollable edit text in a dialog user or control item?
