How to get the actual value of the Memo in sript?

starhu

Hello,

Let's say my memo contains this:

[IIF(<frxDBDataset1."aaaj_internal_type">=0,'Profile:'+<frxDBDataset1."field1">,'Other:'+<frxDBDataset1."field2">)]

so it can be either of the 2 fields.

I want to set the font size to 8 if the length of the actual text of the memo is more than 20 characters long.

But I can't check it, because both TfrxMemoView(Sender).Memo.Text and TfrxMemoView(Sender).Text give me back "[IIF(<frxDBDataset1."aaaj_internal_type">=0,'Profile:'+<frxDBDataset1."field1">,'Other:'+<frxDBDataset1."field2">)]" and not the real value.

How can I get the real value? I want to use the memo component and not the field values because the example above is very short comparing with my real memo.

Thank you

try using the memo.value property but make sure you check it after the data is handled. ie
in the oad event of the memoview.
