[Openroad-users] Auto-tab

[Andrew]

Hi Ian,

Um, this is what I have already tried:

ON CHILDBUFFERCHANGED t1[*].line =
declare
    i                       = integer not null;
    len                     = integer not null;
{
    len = length(EntryField(curframe.triggerfield).BufferText);
    if (len> 65) then
        i = field(t1).currow;
        t1.InsertRow(rownumber = i + 1);
        field(t1).SetInputFocus(row = i + 1);
    endif;
}

Works well, BUT...
But, if I go back to a row that is full and then paste some text, say 5 
characters worth, then the total length of the line is 70 characters.
The CharsPerLine and the variable size of the line column are set to 66.
This is hard to explain. Looks like the CharsPerLine value is being ignored.
Maybe I will have to add a lot more code to handle this issue...

Kind regards,
Andrew.
