E.B	I'm afraid their size is still controled by the theme ... I gave up with EWB because I was trying to traduce Delphi software in Javascript with EWB and I needed sizeable Tedit, thinking sizeable TEdit will appear soon ... It seems I was wrong. Tell me it's not true ! For Goodness sake PLEASE tell me that this so simple and needed thing, is now available in EWB ... I need to traduce a Delphi 7 software in EW for tomorrow and I'm stuck because of this ! Falcon.

We do exactly what you want with TMemo controls, so it's not an issue of "being able to". It's an issue of balancing UI flexibility with the existing theming design and performance/memory consumption. Once the theming is overhauled in EWB 2.x, you will be able to be more flexible with the UI without these issues. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com
