syntech Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I want to load text files into an Edit Control, which is working fine. But now I've found out, that after 1023 characters a line break happens!? Can I increase this limit, and if so, how? I want to put single lines from a text file (with a length of around 2000 characters) into ONE line in the edit control, without automatically placed line breaks.

syntech Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 GUICtrlSetLimit or _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitTextBoth are to set the text limit for the whole control, not to set the max. characters for ONE line before a line break happens. You can take any edit control and enter 1024 chars. The next char in the same line will be put on the next line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 14, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 14, 2009 syntech,A Google search found this on a MS help page:In the Microsoft Windows graphical environment [...] A multiline edit control is [...] subject to the following limitations: [...]The maximum number of characters in a single line is 1024. The maximum width of a line is 30,000 pixels. The maximum number of lines is approximately 16,350.Looks like it is a Windows limitation, not an AutoIt one, which means you are stuck with it.
