Subject RE: [IBO] Whole Blob field in an IBGrid (Sub_type 1 Text)
Author Alan McDonald
if you want to see all the text of a memo field in a grid then you'll need
to use another grid (not IB_Grid) take a look at a delphi website and earch
on grids - there are plenty around W2W etc etc...
You can also do your own drawing of the grid and alter the row height
dependent on the amount of text but there are limits to what's sensible as a
user interface in the grid scenario..
How much text do you really want/need to show? A blob can get very
large........
