Tech Tip: Multi-line entry in List Boxes now available on Mac OS
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 11.3 | PLATFORM: Mac OS X
Published On: January 7, 2009

It is now possible to enter and display text on several rows inside the same list box row on Mac OS. In the previous version of 4D, this function was only available under Windows.

To add a line return in a List Box on Mac OS while typing, you can simply press the Option+Carraige Return keys. Note that the height of the rows is not resized automatically.

Option+Carraige Return keys acts like a Carraige Return for me using Mac OS 10.5.8 and v11.4+most recent Hot Fix. Command+Carraige Return adds the additional row inside the list box row.
