shared text does not support new line?

[xren]

Hi,

I am trying to use shared text to manage an error message.

defined a text with id DateErrorMsg in shared texts file and assigned value there, included the shared texts file in related forms, created text control on forms and assign the DateErrorMsg text to these text controls on forms from script.

However, I cannot make multiple line for the text even I choose contain HTML for DateErrorMsg and/or Contain HTML on the text controls. with <br> in the DateErrorMsg.

and tried /n/r, &#13, etc.

How to make it show multiple lines new line?

Thanks for help.

<br> works fine for me with the Contains HTML checkbox ticked.

not working for me for some reason.

Can you think about what the reason can be?

Thanks,

If you can't figure it out, you could export the form together with all related files and send it to support.

For info, you can display an error message from a text using:

Code: Select all

event.owner.addErrorMessageText(texts.DateErrorMsg);

Then you don't have to look after hiding/showing text controls. If you want to position the message somewhere else on a page, you can add a MessageControl then add the message to this:

Code: Select all

controls.myMsgCtrl.addErrorMessageText(texts.DateErrorMsg);

You probably know this already.
