TppMemo height?

rbuser

When you place a TppLabel on a band, it will at design time automatically
take the appropriate height for the current font...but a TppMemo will not.

I need to know the height of a stretchable TppMemo the same way...at user's
design time.

I am considering to programatically place a temporary TppLabel, read it's
height, and multiply this with the number of lines in the TppMemo...but is
there a more simple approach?

var
lMemo: TppMemo;
lBitmap: TBitmap;
liTexHeight: Integer;
begin

lMemo:= TppMemo(aComponent);

lBitmap := TBitmap.Create;

lBitmap.Canvas.Font := lMemo.Font;

liTextHeight := lBitmap.Canvas.TextHeight('W');

lBitmap.Free;

lMemo.spHeight := liTextHeight * {YourNumberOfLinesHere};

end;

That's at least one way to do it...
