It seems that the height you want to set is less than the value allowed. Try to compare the height with that when Integralheight is .t. Try something like below in the timer procedure:

for ia=1 to 3
lccontrol="THISFORM.edt"+alltr(str(ia))
with &lccontrol

lnheight=.Height
.integralheight=.t.
lnintegralheight=.Height
.integralheight=.f.
.Height =lnheight

if lnintegralheight .Height = .Height - 1
endif
endwith
endfor




>I have an editbox that gets resized (height only) based on the amount of text it is going to contain. When the editbox is quite short, it displays text strangely - the alignment gets thrown off and you can select & drag the text and it will scroll sideways out of the editbox.
>
>It seems that the problem happens when the editbox shorter than 2 full lines of text. I can probably just swap in a textbox for these cases, but I'm wondering if this is a known issue with editboxes and if there's a workaround.
