Title: Unable to type smth. into DBMemo
Post by: Vittorio on July 14, 2020, 08:14:20 am

Hi there,
Seems to be a stupid question  :)
When I put DBMemo on form it's impossible to type something into this control. ReadOnly = FALSE.
Is it possible to make TDBMemo writable like a TMemo?

Sure. Did you set the DataField and DataSource? They're required.

Yes. It works fine with DB and shows text fields from it. But sometimes I want to edit some text fields and come accross with impossibility to enter text into DBMemo.

Set DBGrid->Options->dgEditing and dgAlwaysShowEditor to true.
