Hi,

does anybody can give me me a hint
how to display muliline text in a table window cell
like in WORD or EXCEL?

Unfortunateley M!Table isn't able to do it
and toolstips or anything else interactive is no solution.

TIA
Joachim Engel.

Hi,

Change the 'Cell Type' property of the Table window column to 'Popup Edit'.

Hi Joachim,
put the "Lines per Row" in the attribute inspector of the tablewindow to 2
rows (or more)
and set the columnflag COL_Multiline to TRUE. For editing multiline you need
to set the style to "Popup Edit".
See attached sample...

Regards,
Thomas L.

Thanks to Thomas and Joseph,

but this is not quite what I'm looking for.
I need no edit function, but I need individual sized multiline cells / rows.
If all rows would have the same height, to many rows would been scrolled out
of view.

Kind regards
Joachim Engel.

Hi Joachim,

you could use the cell merge feature in M!Table.
For example, if you have a table with 3 columns and you want to "simulate" a
row with 3 lines, you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

Set nRow = SalTblInsertRow( hWndTbl, TBL_MaxRow )
Set nRow2 = SalTblInsertRow( hWndTbl, TBL_MaxRow )
Set nRow3 = SalTblInsertRow( hWndTbl, TBL_MaxRow )
Call MTblSetCellMergeEx( hWndCol1, nRow, 0, 2, 0 )
Call MTblSetCellMergeEx( hWndCol2, nRow, 0, 2, 0 )
Call MTblSetCellMergeEx( hWndCol3, nRow, 0, 2, 0 )

Ok, it behaves not really like a single row, but maybe this is a usable
workaround for you.
