DBMemoField minimum size

rbuser

Hi,

I want to have a DBMemofiled stretchable but if the field is empty I want
the memo to be a certain height (number of rows).
As it is now if I have two DBMemofields on top of each other and with
"ShiftRelative To".
If the first memo is empty the second one is printed where the first one is
located.

Hi Ronny,

Unfortunately there is no way to define a minimum size of a stretchable
memo, however many of our customers have used the following technique
successfully.

Try placing the memo inside a Stretch enabled TppRegion. This way the
Region will shrink or grow according to the size of the memo. Then place a
rectangle inside the region as well at the exact minimum height you would
like the memo to be. Then set the rectangle's border and background to
clwhite so is is not visible.

Nico,

Thanks for the advise.
I know from my own experience that you can't achieve with all customer
requirements, but my I suggests the above to be added to the ToDo list.
