3726.0. "Multiple lines for a single list box entry ?" by SCOTMN::AUSTIN () Wed Nov 28 1990 13:10

Hello,

I would be grateful for some clarification or guidance on the following point.

A customer has requested to know whether it is possible to have a list box in
which the items may take 2 lines. This can be achieved by placing a \n in the
compound string used define the entry text. 

I have tried this and found that the entries appear successfully, but selecting
1 item and then scrolling through the list causes all items to be selected. 

Before reporting this as a bug I would like advice on whether it is reasonable
to expect this to work.

We are using V5.4 VMS on a VS3100.

Thanks in advance.

  According to the XUI reference guide under the items section of List Box
Create, "No multiline items are allowed".
