DrawText clips bottom of text
« on: September 09, 2023, 11:29:40 am »
Hi,

found a strange behaviour of DrawText, which clips the last line, see attached image.
img_FormPaint2.png

Problem better displayed if r2 is removed.
img_without-r2.png

Code is coming from https://itecnote.com/tecnote/delphi-calculating-size-of-text-before-drawing-to-a-canvas/, where we can see a nice window
img_SourceDrawText.png
, and adapted for Lazarus with
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. {.$R *.dfm}
  2. {$R *.lfm}
and adding
  LCLIntf, LCLType,
in the uses section (by the way, what to do to have a new project skeleton which always include these two units in the uses declaration ? Thx).

17 in the title bar is coming from :
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.     h := DrawText(Canvas.Handle,
  2.       PChar(S[i]),
  3.       Length(S[i]),
  4.       r,
  5.       Aligns[Odd(i)] or DT_WORDBREAK or DT_CALCRECT);
  6.     Caption := IntToStr(h);
and I don't know what's happens, but the line "Glad to hear that!" is 15 px height...
So the bottom of the "y" in the green top-right text is also broken.

If I enlarge Form1, the second line of the first blue text is concerned, but less than third line when present.

If I reduce Form1.Width, it's a disaster.

(end of text in following post, due to number of images)...

...(end of text)


If I reduce more and more, I lost a line in the big blue text :
img_8lines-only7visible.png

If I remove "or DT_WORDWRAP", al the lines are bottom-clipped,

Even the so simple first code of the page displays a broken text (last word is missing) :

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

Thank you for this nice answer.

For my part, I will therefore quietly wait for the official release of Laz 3.0.
Any idea when this date will arrive?

Have a cool sunday,
Best regards

Sorry, boys, but still broken with Laz 3.4...
Look at the last line in the big blue rectangle :
