I am using TAdvMemo. My problem is with the WordWrap property. It works very well when I type text in the text area, but when I add a string to it in code, it has no effect.

I have set WordWrap property to: wwRightMargin and RightMargin property to 80, but not see other property that can help me, so i ask some idea as solve it?

i mean for example: 

AdvMemo.Lines.Add(MyString);

where MyString is a string as: 'hello word'. When it is longer than 80 chars, and wrap is enabled, it should wrap to a new line, but instead it's all on the same line.

    I can't understand. What does "print a string" mean? – David Heffernan Sep 23 '11 at 08:00

After you added text to adv memo you must update wrap by calling UpdateWrap() function. Here is an example for you:

AdvMemo.Lines.Add(MyString);
AdvMemo.UpdateWrap();

or

AdvMemo.Lines.Text(MyString);
AdvMemo.UpdateWrap();

Be sure that WordWrap property of Adv Memo is different than wwNone.

Try using AdvMemo.InsertText instead. Lines.Add doesn't care about wrapping, it just handles some special chars in the string.
