I want to start using the SF DEVExpress textEdit control but cannot find it in the toolbox in StrataFrame Controls. (I can see a textEdit control  under Devex controls ok but I presume I need to use it from SF ).

How do I get this control into the toolbox

Hi Edhy.

I got this working ok... if you see my last post

Very good Gerard, glad it is working.

I have , for the first time, amended the SF Source code to give functionality for MaxLength to the Devexpress TextEdit control, and its all working fine.

My only concern is that after the next update, all my changes will be over-written by SF uploads.

Is this the case, and if so, is here a way round it.

The only way around it, is to request the SF team to add the same functionality found in similar SF controls to those in DevExpress and Infragistics.  If that is not doable, then, keep a good backup of your modified source code and be very careful when applying updates from SF since those will most likely overwrite your changes.

Hi Edhy.

I suspected that was going to be the answer. I suppose another way might be to include the same functionality in my subclassed Class, but I would have to transform from VB code to C#, and include in my SubClass only, but for now I think I'll take the shortcut easy way out .
