Making String Input Behave Like Regualr Text Object

[Unsuitable]

Hello,

In the indicator, there's a user-defined string input. When pressing enter while editing the string, it closes the indicator window. The desired effect is to allow new lines within the string input. In NT's Text code, it uses the following (line 127).

[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.MultilineEditor")]

This does work for when a single line is too long so it automatically goes to the next line, but that is only for styling. A solution would be to handle a Key.Enter KeyDownEvent, but I don't know how it should be implemented. In theory, there's a property that stores whether or not we are editing the string input field? If so, then set the KeyDownEvent to handled if it's being edited. This would override the one that closes the Indicators window.

Thanks

Hello Unsuitable,

To confirm, you want to detect the user has pressed enter, handle the event and return to prevent the window from closing, and then insert into the string a "\r\n" in place of the enter key?

I don't think this will be possible. That I know of, NinjaScripts do not have the ability to assign event handlers in the properties window.

I would recommend you have the user just type \r\n into the string.

Hello,

In essence, that's what I want to do, but not the \r\n part. I want it to be consistent with the regular editor of a text object, so pressing enter goes to a new line.
