LARGE attribute

Indicates whether a Windows editor widget can hold over 20K of text. Non-Windows platforms ignore this attribute.

Data type: LOGICAL

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: EDITOR widget

When LARGE is FALSE, the Windows editor widget can hold a maximum of 20K of text. When LARGE is TRUE, the Windows editor widget can hold over 64K of text—the precise limit depends on available resources.

You can set this attribute only before the editor widget is realized.

Note: In character interfaces, the editor widget can hold large amounts of text by default. Therefore, character interfaces do not need separate “large” and “small” editors.
