  • Type: Command
  • Parameter: 1
  • Group: System Objects Creation

ACTION

The command MEMO N creates a system object MEMO, and allocates it a number N. The number N will be used to designate the MEMO.

The created MEMO can then be used through the appropriated commands.

The MEMO is created at position (0,0) : that is TOP = 0 pixel and LEFT = 0 pixel, with dimensions WIDTH = 185 pixels and HEIGHT = 89 pixels.

A MEMO is an area where the user can enter or modify multiple lines of text.

A MEMO can generate the events : ON_CLICK, ON_DOUBLE_CLICK, ON_CHANGE, ON_KEY_UP, ON_KEY_DOWN.

Remark 1: by default, the MEMO is created on the FORM number 0, but another FORM can be used. For that, create a FORM by FORM N, and send it all the commands by COMMAND_TARGET_IS N before creating the MEMO.

Remark 2: a MEMO is filled with the commands ITEM_ADD, ITEM_INSERT, FILE_LOAD or FILE_ADD, and is read with the function ITEM_READ$().
