Can I make a TMemo size itself to the text it contains?
Need to do autosize memo: height and width.
I autosize the height as follows:
function TForm1.AutoSizeMemoY(Memo: TMemo): word;
begin
Canvas.Font := Memo.Font;
Result := Canvas.TextExtent(Memo.Lines.Strings[0]).cy * Memo.Lines.Count +
Canvas.TextExtent(Memo.Lines.Strings[0]).cy;
end;
But I do not know how to do autosize the width. I have an idea: if the scrollbar is activated, then increase the width until it becomes inactive, but I do not know how to implement that.
Not the best solution but it works:
function GetTextWidth(F: TFont; s: string): integer;
var
l: TLabel;
begin
l := TLabel.Create(nil);
try
l.Font.Assign(F);
l.Caption := s;
l.AutoSize := True;
result := l.Width + 8;
finally
l.Free;
end;
end;
And add following code to the end of Memo1.Onchange event in this answer
LineInd := Memo1.Perform(EM_LINEFROMCHAR, Memo1.SelStart, 0);//focused Memo1 line Index
Wd := GetTextWidth(Memo1.Font, Memo1.Lines[LineInd]);
//MaxWidthLineInd = index of the line which has the largest width.
//Init value of MaxWidthLineInd = 0
if MaxWidthLineInd = LineInd then
Memo1.Width := Wd
else begin
if Wd > Memo1.Width then
begin
Memo1.Width := Wd;
MaxWidthLineInd := LineInd;
end;
end;
