5745.0. "Multi-line Event text (Notification Detail Window)" by KAOFS::BOIVIN (Moi, j'viens du nord!) Wed Nov 17 1993 11:58

    Good day,
    
    How can I get the "Event text" field in the MCC Notification Detail
    window to display multiple lines?
    
    I'm using the data collector (MCC_EVC_SEND) to send a multi line event
    description but things aren't going as expected. For example,
    
    $ MCC_EVC_SEND -
    	mccnod -
    	mycollector -
    	"Node4 Mynode" -
    	"Event Title" -
    	"Text line 1 
Text line 2 
Text line 3 
Text line 4" ! Event text
    	"Minor"
    	"DECNET"
    
    
    I would expect to see the event text displayed:
    
    Text line 1
    Text line 2
    Text line 3
    Text line 4
    
    This is exactly what I see in the notification log file but... the
    notification detail window shows:
    
    Text line 1
    Text line 2
    
    and lines 3 & 4 are missing!
    
    I think this has to do with the Motif text widget being used (perhaps a
    hard coded value of 2 lines of text?) but would appreciate any info on
    how to get around this problem.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ed

	You can't do it.  Sorry.
