How can I limit the maximum height of the DBMemo ?

Example, I want to display a 5 lines maximum of the memo field.

I tried to check the Stretch property, but it display all the text. I
tried without check Stretch and set the height at the maximum I want,
but all row have the maximum height.

By default, you'll have to either use a static height memo or use a dynamic
height memo. There is no hybrid behavior available. You will have to
precalculate the wrapped lines and use a static height memo by settings its
height in the DetailBand's BeforePrint event. Search our newsgroups on
ppPlainText. There is a WordWrap routine in this unit that you can use to
wrap text. You can also search our source (ppMemo.pas) for occurrences
where we use this routine.
