No, ok I wrote a app that uses a textbox , But when I take that
info from the textbox it does work. Yes I use a trim on it..
But when I have it in there using DDT it works...

CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX,qdlg,100,"hello",14,16,100,12,0
it works this way but not this way
CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX,qdlg,100,"",14,16,100,12,0

Hey Mark,
Send me a snippet of it, I'll take a gander at it 2nite...
I usually do mine with "" in it for the string, hasn't been a problem yet... In fact look at the snake event log text box...

What is the actual problem? Your message doesn't actually say what happens/fails/crashes/etc - "it works this way but not this way" could be a little more explicit.

I assume that you are using CONTROL GET TEXT and CONTROL SET TEXT to retrieve and set the text in the edit control?

Mark, can you please clearly explain *exactly* what the problem is that you are experiencing?

I'm afraid I have no idea what the problem is from your description. Also, if you can post a compilable example, then we should be able to offer more definitive help. Thanks!

The problem that I've seen is that RTRIM$ and TRIM$ do not appear to work on strings over about 180 characters in length. I've had to write a small rountine to do that myself.

That is an absolutely UNTRUE and misleading statement, William. Your experience is certainly NOT due to a PowerBASIC problem - I would guarantee that it was due to a bug or coding problem in your code.

The limit of RTRIM$(), TRIM$(), and the other built-in string functions is 2 GIGABYTES - the maximum amount of memory an application can access. I have personally used these functions on strings in the tens-of-megabytes range with absolutely zero problems.
