Hello,
Reading many messages about difficulties concerning text/string gadgets, with multilines, end of line characters issues on one side, threads, etc on the other, and because I was collecting information with replies ... I just wrote this small example of a multilined string gadget as a base of Notepad like program. It is small and does not process anything except loading a text file content in the text box. It works and it is easy to enhance for text modifications, with a menu for load, new, save features etc ...
The only last issue you may notice if you want to use it is the string size limitation (actually to 64KB but should change ...).
If you find any bug to correct or good feature to add, share on the forum.
Hope this will help.
