Text Control Type in Scrolling Window?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by chadbruels 1,588

I have a field with the Text Control Type in the expanded portion of a scrolling window. Data is filling all other fields except this one. Is there something special about this Control Type and scrolling window fill behavior?

    Hello Chad,

    To verify, in your scrolling window, the fields are populating fine, it's just one field that you have in the scrolling window, set as a Text Control Type, is not populating with any data?

    I looked through the documentation and case history we have, but didn't find much specific to Text Control Type fields in Scrolling windows. The Dexterity Programmer's Guide Vol 2 (PRGV2.pdf) has a chapter on Scrolling Windows, but nothing specific to Text Control Type to add to this.

    Let me know if the above is valid and I'll leave this open on the Forums as there are some MVPs and partners that frequent these forums that are well-versed in Dexterity and customizations that may have more to offer.

    I'll keep researching as well to see what else I can find.

    Thank you,

    That is correct. However, we have gone around the problem by simply setting the value in the line fill script. While my curiosity still wonders why it did not obey the AutoCopy flag like the rest, for now we have a working project.

    Thanks Chad for the update. I'm happy you were able to find a work-around on this.

    I didn't find much of anything on it as well, so not sure why it acted the way it did for you, but again, happy it is working for you.

    Have a great day.
