_GUICtrlEdit_SetText and how it handles @CRLF and @CR differently

[ahha]

Is there a setting for interpreting @CR as @CRLF ?  Perhaps in a GUICtrlCreateEdit style option? or maybe option for _SetText or _AppendText?

I ask because if you run the program you see _GUICtrlEdit_SetText and _GUICtrlEdit_GetText handle them differently.  _GUICtrlEdit_GetText always treats it a @CRLF

I guess I could always preprocess @CR, @LF, and @LFCR into @CRLF before using _SetText or _AppendText

Thanks for any hints,

Don't be tricked by what you see, everything works as expected, you get exactly what you set (convert the string returned by _GUICtrlEdit_GetText() to binary if you want to be sure). If you want a different end of line character and you have at least Win 10 then look at EM_GETENDOFLINE and EM_SETENDOFLINE.

@Andreik - you are correct.  Sorry to waste your time.  I had checked the input in a hex editor but not the output   I did get fooled by what I saw.

@ioa747 - noted.
