That looks like a group...put the multiline string box in a group, hide the control label, and give the group a label.

Thanks Stephen and Jeremie. The look I want is in the docs under the Multi-Line string PPG section. The label is sort of embedded in the top of the edit box. I see the options for hiding the label and such but nothing for moving the position.

For the second question. Are you sure they didn't hide the original Label (the one on the left) and fake it using a AddStaticText() ?
Check SetAttribute (PPGItem) for advanced Layout in the SDK.

Hi Bryon
 
The answer to the line return question is \r\n.
It is in the SDK examples :-)

Subject: [Scripting] labels and line returns

I'm working with a multi-line string in a custom property page. The string I am feeding into the string object has "\n"  for line returns but when I run the script it puts in that square for a non recognized character. How do I force a line return in the scrolling string box?

The other problem is that the dialog is always drawn with the label to the left of the string box. I've seen some scripts with the label on top for this type of control but I can't find a way to set it on the top.

Thanks,
