HI Guys

I've build a CRM in Runev and I cant work out how to ensure a 1 line text does not allow 2 lines of text in it. I thought I had achived this by changing some of the field settings. i.e. tab after return and Dont Wrap.

However, when my users copy and paste 2 lines of text from a website for instance in the field, it allows both lines to be copied when its important that only the first line is pasted.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Daniel,

you could trap the "pastekey" message to check
the clipboarddata["text"]
for its number of lines and only "paste" line 1 of it.

Or you can check the field(s) in an "on exitfield" handler and delete the last line if neccessary.

HINT:
The "pastekey" handler will NOT work in the IDE, but in a standalone!


Best

ahhh brilliant thanks Klaus

Perhaps you can write an "mouseEnter", "openField" handler in your field that would set the clipboardData to line 1 of the clipBoardData?
