Hi.

I would like the preview text below each report item to show the entire comment, not just the first three lines.

Can anyone please advise?

Hi,

I don't use previewItem but I guess this should work:

in form Load event

Me.wndReportControl.SetCustomDraw xtpCustomMeasurePreviewItem

Private Sub wndReportControl_MeasurePreviewItem(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal hDC As stdole.OLE_HANDLE, ByVal Width As Long, Height As Long)

Height = 100

End Sub

Thanks for that, but I had figured that much out by myself.

The question is, rather than just setting the height = 100, is there a way to measure the text to be displayed and set the height to the appropriate amount? All I can do currently is guess based on the number of linefeeds in the text.

Hi,

Did you try to set alignment to .Record.PreviewItem.Alignment = xtpAlignmentWordBreak? If so height should be calculated right way. I remember there was an issue once regarding linebreaks in previewitem (not sure) so try to search forum for that.

Good luck
