Carriage Return NewLine

[Arjan Griffioen]

Hi,

Does the EditControl has a property to use CRNL characters for representing a newline instead of only NL.
The reason for this question is: In our software we recently replaced a basic winforms TextBox by an EditControl and now some features of our software are not longer working, because of the fact that newlines are only represented with the NL character in the EditControl

Hi Arjan, Thanks for your feedback in this regard. We have considered adding a NewLineStyle property to the EditControl and have logged a feature request# 581 on this : Feature Request #581 - Support for NewLineStyle property in the EditControl The NewLineStyle can accept values from the NewLineStyle enumerator which has values like Windows, Mac, Unix and Control which correspond to new line styles "\r", "\r", "\r" and "" respectively. Please let me know if this meets your requirements. Regards, Guru Patwal Syncfusion, Inc.

Hi Guru,

The NewLineStyle property as you described it will be great.

Do you have any idea in which version that will be included?

Hi Arjan,

Feature 581 has been fully implemented and will be incorporated in v4.1 release due shortly. There is a slight variation in its implementation. Instead of adding a new property NewLineStyle, we have added a property - DefaultNewLineStyle and 2 methods - GetNewLineStyle and SetNewLineStyle.

DefaultNewLineStyle property can be used to set the default new-line style (used on file creation), GetNewLineStyle method can be used to get current newline style and SetNewLineStyle method can be used to change current new-line style. Please refer to the code snippet below for more information.

this.editControl1.DefaultNewLineStyle = NewLineStyle.Control;
NewLineStyle nlStyle = this.editControl1.GetNewLineStyle();
this.editControl1.SetNewLineStyle(NewLineStyle.Mac);

We appreciate your continued interest in Syncfusion products.
