there is, but it's not at all for the faint of heart :-)
you can use the (mostly experimental) widget subclassing mechanism of
Win32::GUI, and create a new customary class for RichEdit controls.
this new class enables some additional events to be triggered, one of
them being KeyPress, which gets as argument the ASCII code of the key
being pressed in the RichEdit. then, your event simply returns 0
(which cancels the operation) if the key pressed is ASCII 13 (enter),
1 (continue normally) otherwise.
it's a little tricky, but now you have your single row RichEdit ;-)
attached there's a small sample that shows this technique at work.
FYI, the additional events triggered for "subclassed" RichEdit are:
LButtonDown
LButtonUp
RButtonDown
RButtonUp
KeyPress
once again, this feature is *very* experimental; of course, comments
and hints will be as always very appreciated...
