Display n multiline texts in edit controls in dialog

[Lucas]

Is possible to create a dialog like http://www.notepadtabs.com/ with autosize and autoadjust?

[Gintaras]

Try splitter control. It is probably in Archive.qml, Collected QM apps, functions, samples

[Lucas]

Can you show how to create n edit controls and position them at run time?

[Gintaras]

Macro dialog splitters and controls created at run time

Code:

Copy      Help

\Dialog_Editor

;Resizable dialog with 2 splitters.
;Controls are created at run time.

str dd=

Thanks, but what I looking for is variable: 'n' edit controls...

[Lucas]

Do you know how view a lot of multiline variables in dialog simultaneously or view Qmgrid cells expanded simultaneously?

[Gintaras]

I would do like in the above example, perhaps with an array of control handles.

[Lucas]

Can you show an example using Qmgrid cells expanded?

[Gintaras]

QM grid cannot have multiple cells in edit mode.

[Lucas]

Is possible some like this https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15 ... st-Control in QM?

[Gintaras]

I think no. It is only for C++. Unless it can be easily compiled to dll that exports dll functions that can be used in QM. But easier would be a COM control (ActiveX).
From my experience, such old codeproject controls often have many many problems.
