DelphiVCL.Memo is a wrapper for a Windows multiline edit control.
We use Memo to put a standard Windows multiline edit control on a form. Multiline edit boxes allow the user to enter more than one line of text. They are appropriate for representing lengthy information.
Note: Under Windows, there may be a limit of 64k of text for this control.
Browse all the properties, methods, and built-in properties of the DelphiVCL.Memo using dir() command:

import DelphiVCL dir(DelphiVCL.Memo) |

Here is the working example of the implementation of DelphiVCL.Memo:
|
1 2 3 4 |
# Memo memoEvent = Memo(pgOne) memoEvent.SetProps(Parent=pgOne) memoEvent.SetBounds(75,15,350,300) |
