 Topic: Set the Report Record Height.Posted: 19 July 2008 at 4:44am |

I have set the row record item to be multline (Item.EditOptions.EditControlStyle = xtpEditStyleMultiline)
So long as the row height can take the extra line, CTRL-ENTER will work OK However if the row height is too small it will not. I have tried trapping the PreviewKeyDown event so that when KeyCode = 13 And Shift = 2 is true I can increase the record height. But there doesn’t seem a way of increasing the record height, other than MeasureRow event. Would there be an auto resize option to increase the record height as the text in the items grows. What I’m trying to achieve, would allow the user to type into the multiline item and the cell to resize its height as the user types Thanks |

Hi,
This will auto scroll when adding another line of text:
Item.EditOptions.EditControlStyle = xtpEditStyleMultiline or xtpEditStyleAutoVScroll
and set:
wndReportControl.PaintManager.FixedRowHeight = False
Now it will autosize the row to its contents.

Thanks again Aaron
That does what I wanted.
Q
Is there a way to change the row height via a single line of code,
other than using the MeasureRow event?

Hi,
The only way setting a rowheight is using the MeasureRow event, but:
If you set wndReportControl.PaintManager.FixedRowHeight = False the row will automatically sized to its contents. You don't need the MeasureRow event if you don't mind that rows have different heights.

Hi
When you are typing into an Item and type CTRL-ENTER the row doesn't expand to fit the text untill you click out of the item.
I was going to trap CTRL-ENTER and expand the row.
Unless there's another setting?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
If you type into a textbox it won't autosize either, it will only scroll. Same way as you do now, with reportitem multiline. If I were you, I wouldn't put so much effort in it just to fit the contents into row. Users don't expect that it will resize, just scroll down as they type. I know it's difficult to let go when you have something in mind, but I wouldn't go this far
 btw, I added this as possible feature to my FIXED BUGS post: have a scrollbar with multiline reportitem. Would be nicer anyway, this way you could set a certain height for every row and still see that the contents is bigger then the rowheight.
