Multi line data field in iOS

Post by DannyBUSzJNw » Tue Jul 10, 2012 12:02 pm

Hi
This is really a dumb and elementary question but I am at the end of two VERY long days of trying to find a simplistic example or stack (manuals, examples, forums etc) that can explain to me what commands to use to populate a multi-line data field ("group") in iOS (i.e. not keyboard entry) and/or how to store the data entered into a multi-line data field in iOS (I use MobGui...) to lets say write to a file or place in another field.
Kind regards
Danny :oops:

This may help:

To retrieve text from the control, look at "mobileControlGet" in the dictionary, and use the "text" parameter. To place text into the control, use the same "text" parameter with "mobileControlSet".
