Subject RE: [IBO] varchar 256 shows up as memo
Author Jason Wharton
Depending on your control, you can make a setting to automatically load and show the blob contents.
You could also shorten it to 255 characters so that it doesn't trigger it to show as a memo.
I really ought to make the cut-off greater than 256 instead of just equal to it or greater.

Subject: [IBO] varchar 256 shows up as memo

Hi,


C++Builder 10.1 Berlin; IBObjects 5.9.2


I have a table with a varchar(256) column. When I hook a TDBEdit control up to the column using TIBOTable the edit field shows MEMO or memo depending on whether the row has a value in the column.


How can I get that to show the actual text?


Thanks.

Shawn
