TextArea Default Text multi-line text possible?

Hello,

I'm building a workflow in which it shows users a paragraph of text initially and allow user to alter it. I thought TextArea probably is the tool to go, but I soon found out it didn’t accept multiline text for the Default Text. I thought about using RuntimeModification to populate the initial text content but seems in the Silverlight Client API there’s no way to access/modify the Text component of TextArea. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  Thanks Ryan.

  It works like a charm. BTW, is there a better API reference I could use for something like this. For example the one i'm currently using - "Geocortex+Essentials+Silverlight+API+2.10",  didn't mention that TextArea has a property called DefaultText. Thanks.

  Hi Jack

  in the Workflow Designer, right click on the items in the Toolbox and help is available on that 'Tool' or Activity.

  Thanks Ralph for the suggestion. But I'm afraid the built-in help doc does not include API reference at all.

  Hi Jack

  from the Help on DisplayForm:

  TextAreaFormItem

  form.Find(Of TextAreaFormItem)("<FormItemID>").DefaultText

   

  form.Find(Of TextAreaFormItem)("<FormItemID>").Label.Text

   

  form.Find(Of TextAreaFormItem)("<FormItemID>").TextboxHeight
