PasteFilter | Strip Non-Printing Characters from Pasted Data

## Description

Strip non-printing characters from pasted data

When the filter is enabled, it strips leading/trailing non-printing characters, such as line feeds or tabs, from data that is copied/pasted into a grid or multi-line control and replaces any internal sequence of non-printing characters with a single space.

Possible values are 0 = Off and 1 = On.

Example:

Data that is copied as …

> 123 Main Street
> Markham
> Ontario

… will be pasted as:

> 123 Main Street Markham Ontario

The Clipboard will reflect the actual data pasted in case the user wants to paste the data elsewhere.

(The PasteFilter property was added in PxPlus 2020 Update 1.)

## Default

1 (On), except for multi-lines that are >1 line high and accept multiple lines of input, which default to 0 (Off)

## Used By

GRID • MULTI_LINE
