Hi,

I think additionally to "multiple lines" you have to set the property "expand to fit" for the height on the Layout-Tab.

Kind Regards

Hi Sharadha

the Text Field is the right object to use.

Read the documentation and play around with the settings. Check your binding settings. You are on the right track.

Hi Markus,

Can you send me the link for the documentation which deals with the properties of the various form elements.

Thanks and Regards,

In Adobe LiveCycle Designer, hit F1. Then go to Working with Objects > Defining Object Properties > Text Fields

Hi Markus,

i have referred that help also. It is given that just checking the 'Allow Multiple lines' will display the text in multiple lines. I did the same but it is not displaying the long text in a single text box rather it is displaying in more than one textbox.

And also i want to know is there any upper limit for number of characters that can be displayed in a textbox. i have unchecked the 'limit number of characters' also but still it is truncating the text to be displayed in the textbox.

Is there any example available for the textbox with multiple lines??

Thanks and Regards,

Sharadha

Hi Sharadha,

no, there is no limit on characters for a text field.

I am not aware of any examples as text fields are the simplest way to use the form technology and I haven't come across an issue like yours.

My only suggestion is to create a customer message on component BC-SRV-FP and submit your template.

Cheers,

Markus
