Memo field breaks a word at strange places

rbuser

Hi,

RB Enterprise 6.03

When using a DBMemo field words are broken at the strangest places to
continue the text at the next line. Would it be possible to specify that
words can't be broken?

On the memo in this case, WordWrap should be true and CharWrap set to false.

WordWrap is implied on a Memo. CharWrap is the only property you can set to
affect this behavior. Do you have any control characters in your text, such
as #13#10 (CarriageReturn and LineFeed)? Can you save this memo record data
to ascii text and load it into a TppMemo? Then send this simple report that
shows the problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll see what could
be causing the problem. It should not be char wrapping if you have CharWrap
set to false.

Hi Jim,

I can only reproduce this when using a DBMemo.
The underlying field from the datapipeline is a SQLServer field of type
image.

Any way i can send you an example of this ??

Using Delphi code, can you stream the image field to a file stream so you
can see it in pure ascii text format? I suspect there are control characters
in there somewhere which are causing a problem with our word wrapping logic.
You should be able to reproduce this with a TppMemo since the TppMemo and
TppDBMemo rely on exactly the same wordwrapping logic.

Jim,

Problem solved by deleting the DbMemo component and adding a new one.
Probably one of those "comsic ray interference" problems .....

Thanks
