Wrapping text

rbuser

Hello,

I have a report in my Delphi 5 app which is for a Purchase Order if that
matters. I am trying to print out a field in my items table (which is
the master pipeline for the report) and there is one field that can be
too long for the width of the textbox I have set up in the report. I
would like for the rest of the field to wrap to the next line right
below where it left off. I have tried modifying the properties of the
ppDBText control such as CharWrap, WordWrap (which actually keeps the
field from actually printing anything), ShiftWithParent, etc. but
nothing seems to work. Can someone help me?

Thanks,

David Alge

Hi David,

Instead of using a DBText component, try using a DBMemo instead. This is a
stretchable component that will grow vertically if needed. Be sure to set
the Stretch property to True.
