Wrapping Detail Records

Post by Helen Elizabeth McCulloch Culle » Tue, 21 May 1996 04:00:00



I want to be able to display longish detail records "wrapped" onto
two lines.  Does anyone know a way to either a) make a MRO display
more than 3 records down or b) wrap a tableframe record onto two
lines....  (Pdox 5 f W)

Thanks in anticipation - Helen

What you are asking for is native PdoxWin behavior.  To make an MRO
display with a specified layout right click on the MRO and choose RECORD
| LAYOUT.  To make a field inside of an MRO word wrap right click on the
field and set the WORD WRAP property.

Report or form?

In a report, all you have to do is inspect the field in the tableframe
and turn on the wordwrap. Paradox does the rest. (hmm, it's been a
while since I've done this, so maybe you do have to play with the Size
to Fit property, but I don't really remember having to do so)

In a form, again, turn on the wordwrap, but this time you have to size
the field object's height to whatever height you think will be needed
to accomodate the wrapped text.

Hope this helps

Daniel - Thanks for responding.  It doesn't answer my question,
however.  I was looking for way to either "wrap" a long record
onto two tableframe lines;  or display more than the maximum 3
records down a MRO layout.
