ChatWnd::EditText

The ChatWnd::EditText property sets or gets the text in the typing area of the chat window.

Syntax

This is a read/write property.
[string] EditText;

Data Type

A string containing the text of the typing area. See Remarks.

This property typically fails for one of the following reasons:

• The ChatWnd object refers to a window that has been destroyed.
• The property is being set while the edit control is disabled. See EditChangeAllowed.

Remarks

If the text being set is longer than the maximum allowed (typically 1100 characters), it is truncated. When getting text containing emoticons, Messenger Plus! tries to convert the emoticon objects to their text counter part. If it fails, the object is replaced by an empty string which means that setting back the same text will remove the emoticon. The EditChangeAllowed property should be checked before this property is set.
