-==Details==
+== Details ==
 You should call a SetText("") every time you read from an EditBox, so the command line is free for the next input.
-==MultiLineEditBox==
+SetText fails when the text contains characters that aren't renderable (e.g. control chars, invalid UTF8). In that case the EditBox is cleared and [[API EditBox GetText|EditBox:GetText()]] returns the empty string.
-When using a MultiLineEditBox, there is a sub-control called Edit the actually contains the text.
-For example, if the form name is "TestFourForm" and the MultilineEditBox control name is $parentMultiEditBox then you would use '''TestFourFormMultiEditBoxEdit''' to put text into the control.
-<!-- begin code -->
+Before {{battle-inline}} ''Battle for Azeroth'', unrenderable chars were displayed as '?'.{{fact|What does it do now?}}
- TestFourFormMultiEditBoxEdit:SetText("This is a test.");
-<!-- end code -->
