How to use TVirtualStringTree to display multi-line items and "expanded" select item?

Question

I'm looking to create a look similar to the image below (which I know was done using TVirtualStringTree), but I haven't found any example code on how to accomplish this.

Anyone knows how I can have multi-line items like on the example below, and "expand" the select item to show more lines?

Answer 1

Please take a look at VT Demos\Advenced. In there you have a Multiline nodes demo which I guess might be the thing you are looking for.

Demos can be found here

Edit:
The download page is:

and the third item is the demos.

Answer 2

I guess you've got an answer, but I'll give you a couple hints for putting this into practice because it's been a little wonky for me. (At least in Delphi 7)

1. If you do a #13#10 for a new line make sure you've got a space after the the #10, otherwise you will not get a line break.

2. VirtualTree.MultiLine[node] := true will allow multi line, but not necessarily make it multiline.

3. Do VirtualTree.Invalidate[Node] then refresh the tree to get the new size for the node after you've changed the caption.
