Can I increase the buffer size for my textbox in CVI?

[GaryZ21]

I want to increase the buffer size for my textbox, so I can increase the amount I can scroll up/down with the scroll bar.  How do I do that in CVI?    I am using CVI 7.1

If you open the control in the uir editor and check the Text Box Options for the control if you have

Max Entry Length = -1

and

Extra Lines = -1

there should not be a limit on the number of lines that the text box can hold.

It's interesting that the textbox itself limits the history to double it's visible line length when the setting is put at -1.  However, when I changed the value from -1 to a set value, I'm able to store and go back to more of the history. 


Thanks for the response.

Using 7.1.1 I have not seen that kind of behavior.  I have used some very large amounts of text in a text box without issue.

Maybe someone else has seen this issue.
