sorry, and sorry for the e-mail, my question was not correct,
I mean, how do you write a function/procedure
in Delphi to word wrap?

Did you realize, that word wrapping will affect the line count? This means,
that your procedure must handle one or more chunks of text, and then must
determine how many lines will be required to display that text.

The remaining tasks are simple:
- one function determines, where (wrappable) words exist in a given text
- one function computes the width of one or more of these words
- one function determines, how many of these words fit into a line
- the last function determines, how many lines result from a given text

Then you split the text into lines, using the above functions, set the line
count of the Memo and the contents of every line accordingly.

What's the problem?

Actually, DrawText WinAPI may actually do this kind of calaculation (even
without drawing anything). One of the dwFlag members to be set is DT_CALCRECT
or similar.

There are an awful lot of different ways to do this, and short of the very
simple solution shown above its can actually be a complicated subject.
Perhaps if you explained where you are having trouble we could be more
helpful.

Re:word wrap


Why write a procedure ? The Sysutils unit already has a function WrapText
for that !
