In the Layer Properties dialog, to input a SECOND TEXT LINE in a text-layer, you can use CTRL+RETURN to add a second line:



Otherwise, by hitting just the RETURN key, the Layer Properties dialog would CLOSE.

Unfortunately, the CTRL+RETURN trick does not work when editing the text in a text layer in-place after double-clicking a text layer:



In this case, CTRL+RETURN does NOTHING and the RETURN key always closes the in-place editor!

So, how can I add a second line in the text-layer in-place editor?

Hi Peter

To support carriage returns in Text layers you need to do one of the following:

- Enable rich formatting for the layer, e.g.:

TIETextLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ).EnableFormatting := True;


- Enable returns in plain text layers, by enabling the following define in ie.inc

{.$define AllowReturnsInTextLayers}
