string

[tinnitus]

hello,

Looking for 2 advices about string and array of string , cluster or other

1) Is there a way to limit text zone to only the size on string command 

ie : for the moment my text zone has  for exemple a size of 65 pt that allow to type number with this format nnnn.nnn

the problem is when user type nnn.nnnnnnnn  the he does see the begin anymore   more over i don't want text to shift on left ....

2)  is there a propoerty to set to allow the use of enter key or other key to make an array of anything to go to next line or is it my own

to code event like that ?   and if i use a multicol list ?

Regards

Please use a more descriptive title than "string". For all I know, you could have been talking about super-string theory.

As for your questions:

(1) This has been asked more times than I care to count. I'm not going to bother giving you the options. You're more than capable of performing a simple search to find the answers that have been provided.

(2) There is no property to do this for arrays. You have to program it yourself. You could use a multicolumn listbox for this.
