Row Lines ...

edited March 2012 in General
Hi all,

i was wondering, when i create a report/invoice, i sometimes have more
characters than what a column can display.

I have enabled the word wrap function in the properties box.

But what im finding is its not actually word wrapping when it needs too.

I have tried to specify if the length of the line is greater than 45
characters to manually increase, but for some reason this isnt working
anymore.


Please Help!!!!

    Trevor,


    Untested, but did you set Autosize := true?

    Hi Trevor,

    If you would like the text to wordwrap and automatically grow vertically
    to show the text being wrapped, you need to use a stretchable component
    such as TppMemo or TppDBMemo.

    If you would like the component to grow horizontally based on the text
    size, you need to use a non-stretchable component with WordWrap set to
    False (AutoSize set to True). This would be a TppLabel or TppDBText.

    Hi Nico,

    I thought of that too, but im still having an issue getting the text to word
    wrap in a column.

    Hi Trev,

    Whey you say "column" are you referring to a Report column defined using
    the Page Setup, or a stand-alone column of text? A report column is
    simply a shortened detail band. Placing stretchable text inside should
    extend the column vertically as it grows.

    Perhaps more information on how your report is designed will help me
    understand the problem.
