Free Text Box width limit/wrapping

Question

Hi I use the Free Text Box in my .net application.

I was wondering if there was a way to prevent someone typing one single huge line of text.

Can you set a wrap boundary on it?

Answer 1

I had a short read of the documentation, and I don't think you'll find a native way to do so.

I guess you could use the FreeTextBox.TextChanged event, and check every line in the FreeTextBox.Text property. Mind the fact that it is HTML, and you will probably have to parse it with another third party tool (doing it manually will only give you headaches).

If any of these lines has more characters than an arbitrary length you'll set, create a new line of text with the surplus character, and move the caret to this line.
