Multi-line Label

I need a what is equivalent to a memo component only just display a label.

I tried making the memo read only and no tab stop, but you can still get
focus to it by clicking anywhere inside the memo.

disabling it makes the colors grayed out.

Any ideas?

Re:Multi-line Label


Douglas,

Does it have to scroll?  If so, a TLabel in a ScrollBox would work,
otherwise a TLabel on it's own.  Just set Autosize to False and WordWrap to
True.

To get it to size to the right height (at run-time) I have tricked it by
setting AutoSize to True, then setting the width property to the correct
value (I think that's how I did it).

HTH,
Rich

Thanks.  Sizing is always static so this will work great.  How do you put in
CRLF in the caption or do I have to do that inside code?

Thanks again!

You have to do it in code.

Double click the Caption property.

Re:Multi-line Label


Erwin,
Although double clicking in caption didn't work, I did right mouse click on
the label (on the form), did a view as text, changed the caption to what I
wanted there, right mouse clicked and did a view as form.  Perfect!

Thanks for all your help!

Douglas

Hmm, must be an RxLib thing... I can doucle click a caption in Object
Inspector (or click on "...") and I get a multi-line editor.

That has to be an add-on, it is not the standard property editor for
Caption properties.
