I'm having a problem I have not seen before.
When creating a program, I often copy an existing project and convert that for the new job. Never had any problems doing this. In this case I am using a TEST project which I use to try out new ideas. Recently I have been playing with webbrowser/inet controls on this TEST project.
Copied TEST for a new job, completed the job, it's quite small and thought I did not have the right textbox settings when the three text boxes refused to accept typed carrets (carriagereturns/linefeeds).
However when I check scroll and multiline they are set okay.
Import or create a new textbox to the same form and the same happens - no carrets possible. However if I create a new form in the same project and copy over some of the offending textboxes, they will accept carrets.
This makes me think that there is something obstructing multi-line at the form level. Perhaps some of the controls I played with on the original TEST project have made changes to the form that are remaining there, even though on the new project I have nothing other than texboxes, labels, command buttons, and file/directory boxes.
Have done a line by line comparison of the form properties with one in another project that is working okay, and I can't see anything different! Any ideas?
Do note that this is more of an educational curiousity - I have a solution in that I can transfer all items to a new form!
