[JS CS4] How to allow "returns" in multiline edittext in scriptui

hi,

 

i can build simple dialogs using scriptui.

 

var w = new window('dialog',"label",undefined);
w.minimumsize.height = 250;
w.minimumsize.width = 250;
w.mytext = w.add('edittext',undefined,myvalue, {multiline:true, scrollable:true});
w.mytext.minimumsize.width = 240;
w.mytext.minimumsize.height = 240;
w.show();

 

 

is there way allow return key used create new lines? , how recognise these returns when reading content later.

 

thanks

 

simon.

afaik, within multine edittext return key works on mac platform.

on win platforms user can press ctrl+enter insert new line.

 

then, in order parse resulting lines in array this:

 

var lines = w.mytext.text.      replace("/[\r\n]+/g","\n").      split("\n");  

 

@+
