A Few Questions

Hi, i have a few quick questions, if anyone knows that would be great.

Is there any way to limit the size of the rich edit object? Like you can with the edit box

-----------------

Is it possible to send the text from 1 rich edit to another in realtime at the runtime?

If i try the has been modified event for the one i want to copy to another it always adds the string to the second and if i add a only 1 action when event loops it just sends 1 character to it. If i send to a string though it works fine and i don't need to use any restrictions.

-----------------

How do you convert a number to amount of letters? for example if it was 5 and you wanted a A then the string would be AAAAA is there a easy way to do this?

I wrote an extension a while back to do that: http://www.aquadasoft.com/StringRepeater.zip

Nice, thanks Jamie :)

Anyone know about the other 2 questions?

I guess i could count the amount of characters for the limit thing and delete the end ones but is this the best way or is there a nicer solution?

Rich edit doesn't seem to like being sent to another but im sure there is a way without it always adding new letters but it needs to be dynamic so it updates the first.

I'm pretty sure they cover the second question(or something similar in the tutorial for the online text application on the side

Thanks but im not sure which example you mean.

When i say sent to another Rich edit i don't mean sending online though i just mean making a clone of it for hidden parsing you wouldn't see in the main rich edit. So it would just be a second object in the frame but getting the text when you type in the main object. If i try sending it even with restrictions it just keeps adding text, maybe thats a bug but im not sure.
