You can use an edit box to edit the values in fields of Memo type and in variables, array elements, and fields with Character type. You can use an edit box to view the contents of a field of Blob type; however, the contents are read-only. The edit box displays Blob type data as hexadecimal values without the 0h prefix. For more information, see Visual FoxPro Data and Field Types.

All standard Visual FoxPro editing features, such as cut, copy, and paste are available for an edit box. The text in the edit box scrolls vertically, and text wraps horizontally.
