Input Text in my dashboard

I'm looking for a way to enter text (multiline) in my dashboard

This text has to be saved in a database.

What is the best way to achieve this?

I looked at the inputbox but this give me just one line of text (a like a box where i can enter text, multilined)

thnx

Jochem,

How are you planning to write these values back to a database? Can you attach a qvw example to let us know what you're trying to achieve?

hi, id be interested to see how this was achieved? Particularly i would like to know how to use a large (multiline) input box that allows the user to input text. It currently very awkard as the input box is only 1 line.

Im doing a similar thing but writing to an excel spreadsheet.

Any examples would be great

Thanks

Jason

You can use the InputBoxEx (API) from a macro, it gives the possibility for multiple lines.

Var = Application.InputBoxEx("Type your comment:")

This is quite an old post. But in case anyone stumbles across it looking for a solution I thought I would highlight an extension object I created that could assist. It is available here http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3521
