Newlines in text edit

Hello, I'm using a text datatype to allow the user to enter some free text.

I disable the edit controls by calling unset_texteditor() and it works.

If typed text has newlines, when later I go to the record's view, the text is shown in a single line.

However, in edit mode the newlines are kept.

So, is there a way to show the text with newlines in the record's view ?

Thanks !

well my friend..

 

will recommend u patching your base library with the following code as shared in the this url

/topic/2525-callback-addedit-field-changes-the-display-on-the-read-method/

 

from this - u will get the information as how to create a callback_read_field function and then u can use it... to format the text according to the business rule that suites you.

 

Happy GCing :)
