My editbox is a subclass, but I haven't changed any of the default settings.
Like I said it works fine on this test form I created. (I did try using the baseclass directly too though).
I even deleted the whole container and created a new one only with some basic settings.
Again it does the same thing. It will not run on my production form.
Funny thing. I decided to enter 6 lines of text in the memo, hitting enter after each one.
The first line in the edit box shows correct, until it is longer than 40 characters.
the second line only show 15 characters after which the line is cut off.
the third line doesn't show at all. (I just noticed that if first line is 40 chars then it doesn't display other lines at all)

Yet again, in my testform it displays correctly.

Here is the code in setNotes()in the ctnrNotes Container:

WITH this.grdNotes
	.AllowCellSelection = .T.
	.RecordSourceType = 1
	.RecordSource = SPACE(0)

	
	SELECT cnotes.note_date, cnotes.name, cnotes.note_type, cnotes.note, cnotes.note_key ;
		FROM cnotes ;
		WITH (buffering = .t.) ;
		INTO CURSOR grdNotes
	
		
	.RecordSource = 'grdNotes'
	.column1.controlsource = 'grdNotes.note_date'
	.column2.controlsource = 'grdnotes.name'
	.column3.controlsource = 'grdnotes.note_type'
	.column4.controlsource = '(grdnotes.note)'
ENDWITH
scan
messagebox(MEMLINES(grdNotes.note)) &&gives 1 line if line is 40 chars, 2 if 1st line < 40 chars
MESSAGEBOX(ALINES(atest,grdNotes.note)) &&gives 6 lines
ENDSCAN

I just don't get it.
