Hi

 

I need to display text in an Item with multiple lines.

and allow the user to edit it.

But I can’t find a way to display more than one line.

 

If I set the report to wndReportControl.PreviewMode = True

And then add text via Record.PreviewText

I can see text under the record, and this will display more than one line, but

it appears read only

 

Is the any way around any of these problems?

 

Thanks again

Hi,
 
Try this:
  • Set Record = wndReportControl.Records.Add()
    Set Recorditem = Record.AddItem("MultilineItem")
          Recorditem.CreateEditOptions
          Recorditem.EditOptions.EditControlStyle = xtpEditStyleMultiline
  • Set wndReportControl.PaintManager.FixRowHeight = false
  • Set wndReportControl.SetCustomDraw xtpCustomMeasureRow
  • Use: Private Sub wndReportControl_MeasureRow(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal hDC As stdole.OLE_HANDLE, ByVal Width As Long, Height As Long)
         Height = 100 'to adjust the height of row for entering more than one line of chars
    End Sub
  • Use CTRL-ENTER to go to next line

Hi  Aaron

 

I’m nearly these.

If an item has more than one line the char returns are displayed as two squares

But when you click into the item it reformats the text correctly and put the new lines in, click away and it resets to one line and the returns are displayed as squares.

Any ideas

Hi,
 
Here's a test project, you can check it yourself. One thing I noticed as well, the grouprow is showing squares as you said. I think this can be solved as well. I'll away for a few days so better to ask someone from the support team. I will try to solve this in a few hours, if I got the time.

Hi,
 
The project is with V12.0.1 ReportControl, I just thought of it: you use V11.1.3 but you can copy the code into your own test project. I don't know if all properties are the same as in V11.1.3 but you will find out if you run it

Hi Aaron.

Thanks you for the example project.

It seems that running with version 11.1.3 is the problem.

If I upgrade to 12.0.1 then it all works as you said.

 

Look like I will have to upgrade for my next release.

I’ve been putting that off, because I didn’t want all our client pc to have to run a new set-up, but looks like I will have too.

 

Thanks again for your support.
