Blank Lines in ATLISTBOX

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm using ATLISTBOX to display some menu help screens because it's a simple way to have a GUI look and because ATLISTBOX allows you to specify "fixed pitch font".  The program works great except when I pass the data to be displayed using the field delimiter AND include blank fields (two adjacent field marks), it doesn't want to display the blank line.  Is this deliberate or is there an easy fix?  I got around it by putting a "." (period) where the blank line would be.  It would be nice though if it could show a blank line instead.

	Hi Steve - Removing blank lines must be a function of the underlying List control in Windows. There is nothing in the Pick code that is removing blank lines. Thanks, Pete
