Multiline cell

BarryStevensBarryStevens
in SRP EditTable Control
I set a cell in edittable as multiline:
Set_Property(Ctrl, "OLE.CellMultilined[2; All]", On$)

If I enter (say) "This is a test" , on tabbing out of the cell it shows as "T..."
But the cell is wider than the text.
Is this expected behaviour as I can see where it would be annoying to the user.

click/tab on the cell and it shows expanded OK.

    Can you let me know the Windows OS, height of the cell, the font being used, and anything else you think could be relevant?
  • BarryStevensBarryStevens
    Ah, the cell height.
    Changed to 16 and it works.

    Windows OS=Win10
    Cell Height=14
    Font=Tahoma, 8, 400

    thank you

    This tells me that the font was too tall to fit the cell, which causes the text measuring algorithm to decide that ellipses are warranted.

    How can you determine what the cell height should be, given the font size?
