Hi All,

is it possible to add a string/text to a multi-line edit text field as you go? I have the following in the Command() of a dialog and is setting text in the dialog's text field.

case (DLG_BTN_PRINT) :  
{  
if((obj = doc->GetActiveObject()) == FALSE){break;}  
String Name = obj->GetName();  
this->SetString(DLG_MULTILINEDIT, Name, FALSE, NULL);
String Self = String(" is a polygon object.");  
this->SetString(DLG_MULTILINEDIT, Self, FALSE, NULL);  
}  
break;

But the second SetString() erases the first one - hence my query - how can I continue to add strings to the field as I go? And how do I add a new line?

Thanks,

WP.

Get the string from the edit box, add your new string to it, and set it back into the box.

Thanks Steve,

I hadn't thought of that. Simple. And it works. Thanks.

For anyone else, adding a new line is done via "\r\n" - added into the string.

EDIT - correction to new line snippet.
