Hello Brendan,
I know we discussed this subject briefly many months ago... but now
I'm hot into getting it to work this time! I'm trying to put RTF into
an FTEditField, and then set the height of the FTEditField to match
the size of the contents. So I'm doing this:
eField.setRTF(s)
TextHeight=eField.getDoc.getPageHeightLength
If TextHeight<38 Then
TextHeight=38
End If
eField.Height=TextHeight
eField.resize
What I'm finding is that I often get an unreliable TextHeight back
from the getPageHeightLength function. I found that the FTEditField
appears to recalculate itself many times and eventually it arrives at
the correct number. So if I were to set the RTF and then do the
adjusting in a timer that fires 2 seconds later, it works correctly
every time. But if I try to adjust things as I show above, it is
usually wrong. Is there some sort of update that I can call between
setting the RTF and calling the getPageHeightLength method?
Thanks,
Ron Benditt
