Shift-Enter for multiline text boxes

Hi.

I'm porting a large application from VWG.  It seems trivial - but users have complained in testing - that multiline text boxes require a shift-enter to enter a line feed, rather than just a "normal" enter (which is standard browser behavior).

It may be that a property has converted from VWG incorrectly.

Can you advise if there is a solution?

Cheers,
Neil

Hi Neil,

please make sure that AcceptsReturn is set to TRUE for your textboxes.

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Frank

Hi Neil,

Does your Form/Page specify an AcceptButton? By the way, is it a Page or a Form?

Hi Frank,

I have updated AcceptsReturn, but still no joy.  So with a textbox as follows ...

this.textBox61.DataBindings.Add(new Wisej.Web.Binding("Text", this.bsEnrolment, "RplEvidence", true));
this.textBox61.Dock = Wisej.Web.DockStyle.Fill;
this.textBox61.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(3, 41);
this.textBox61.Multiline = true;
this.textBox61.AcceptsReturn = true;
this.textBox61.Name = "textBox61";
this.textBox61.ScrollBars = Wisej.Web.ScrollBars.Vertical;
this.textBox61.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(298, 89);
this.textBox61.TabIndex = 1;

Hitting return does nothing, whilst shift-return adds a newline.

Cheers,
Neil.

Hi Neil,

have you tried our latest Wisej build (1.4.83) ?
There have been some corrections made in the area of AcceptTabs and AcceptReturns ?

Best regards
