[REQ] TALMemo - Add Text property ( Text lines )

[maurobotta]

Hi,

For TALMemo, i can't found a "add / Items.add" only a Text ( simple string )

I have much code with OldMemo.Lines.Add('xxxxx') , and is not easy to convert.

Best Regards

Mauro

The issue arises because the concept of "lines" can be confusing. As the text wraps inside the memo, when you use OldMemo.Lines.Add('xxxxx'), it doesn't necessarily mean you're adding one visible line to the memo; it could span multiple lines. Similarly, retrieving Memo.Lines[5] (for example) doesn't necessarily correspond to the visible line number 5 in the memo. That's why a memo primarily has a Text property instead of focusing on Lines.

Would it be possible for you to replace OldMemo.Lines.Add('xxxxx') with OldMemo.Text := OldMemo.Text + #13#10 + 'xxxxx'; ?

Yes, of course, but is complicate. Memo.Items.Add is very popular line of code.

I know but it's really a bad logic, only on delphi you can see it :( but yes it's possible to fake the Items, it's would be very simple to do by editing the alcinoe.fmx.memo.pas and add it. it's will be a simple fake TstringList that simple read the text property or set the text property.
