Memo Field

Hi Frank,
I'm wondering if just setting the scrollbar to 'ssvertical' would get you around the problem (see screenshot1), assuming you've not done this already.
But if the current size of the memo fields is still too small,  another couple of options might be to
1.  call a separate form with a large version of the memo so that it can more easily read (attachment frankmemo1)
2.  stay on the same form as the memo field but overlay it with a panel (attachment frankmemo2) - this option feels a little more 'integrated' but you're ultimately limited by the overall dimensions of the form on which the memo fields is found, which may be an issue if the memo fields contain very large amounts of text.
Derek.

Derek,
Thanks to your suggestions I've got it working the way I like. YEAH
-
I created a Memo Form (frmMemo) with a Scrollable Memo field (Memo1)
Then I added a procedure into my Script as follows:
procedure frmEducation_Activities_OnDoubleClick (Sender: TObject);
begin
   frmMemo.memo1.Text:= frmEducation.Activities.text;
   frmMemo.Show;
end;
-
I also put an Exit button on the Memo Form.  Now all I have to do is to change the name of the Memo field so I can use the same form for any memo field.

Thanks for the inspiration
Frank

Derek,
Many thanks for the suggestions.
I have implemented them into my app and it works great, but...........there's always a but
-
I would like to use the Memo-form for multiple Memo fields on the same form.
My current form has 6 Memo fields.  So it works for one field but I'm not able to get the data from Memo.memo1 back into the other fields.
-
Here's what I have tried so far.  I thought by using a variable it might help but it doesn't seem to help.
I'm using a couple of buttons to open and close the Memo form.  I think they're  a little more user friendly than the "bounce bar".  But the same procedure works with either a button or the "bounce" bar
These are my procedures to move the DATA to and from frmMemo .
// GLOBAL VARIABLE
var varMemo: String;
// Procedure to put the data from the Memo-field into frmMemo
procedure frmEducation_ActivitiesViewEdit_OnClick (Sender: TObject; var Cancel: boolean);
begin
  // Put the memo field into varMemo
  varMemo := frmEducation.Activities.Text;
  frmMemo.Show;
  // Put the DATA from the varMemo into the frmMemo Memo1 field
  frmMemo.Memo1.Text := varMemo;
end;

// Procedure to put the data back into the original Memo field
procedure frmMemo_btnExit_OnClick (Sender: TObject; var Cancel: boolean);
begin
varMemo := frmMemo.Memo1.Text;
frmEducation.Activities.Text := varMemo;
frmMemo.Close;
end;
-
The above procedures work OK
-
When someone opens up frmMemo and changes the data and then tries to put it back into the original Memo field, it requires the Original Memo field as seen in my example above.
However I don't know how to make this process so I can use it with other Memo fields on the same form.
