DBMemo acting strange

rbuser

The component is getting its data from a Memo field in Interbase. What
happen is, during printing, the text wrap to the next line eventhough the
DBMemo box length is still long enough to fit it all in one line.

Hi Muhamad,

If you increase the width of the memo to something very large (i.e. the
width of the page) do you still get this behavior? Does the memo always
break in the same spot? If so, you might check that the memo text you are
retrieving from your database and be sure there are no CRLF characters
present.

Hello,

we have the same problem with a memo. The data of the memo is calculated
on a OnPrint-Event of a DBText-component. That's the code:

if Memo1.Text <> '' then
Memo1.Text := Memo1.Text + ', ';
Memo1.Text := Memo1.Text + Table1['DataField1'];

The preview looks like that: The text wraps to the next line after each datafield
contents. The length of the memo is long enough and there are no CRLF characters
in the text.

Where is the mistake?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Silke

Hi Silke,

Do not use the Memo.Text property to define the memo text. Rather use the
Memo.Lines TStringList property. Take a look at demo 33 located in the
\RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory (dm0033.pas) for an example of what
you are trying to do.
