delphi textrect wordwrap

Question

I am using Canvas.TextRect in Delphi 7 to output something on the screen.

I need my text to be word wrapped in the rectangle.

Answer 1

You need to use DrawText (or DrawTextEx) with the DT_WORDBREAK flag.

See the sample in this thread.

Answer 2

Use

DrawText( hdc, pchar(s), length(s), rcRect, DT_NOPREFIX or DT_WORDBREAK);

where

s : string to print

rcRect : TRect the rect wherein the string should be printed.
