fixedLineHeight

set [the] fixedLineHeight of field ¬ to trueOrFalse

The fixedLineHeight property returns or sets whether a field has uniform line height or varies the line height of each line according to largest font size that appears in the line.

It corresponds to the Fixed Line Height check box in a Field Info dialog box.

Setting the fixedLineHeight property to false sets the showLines property to false. Setting the fixedLineHeight to true has no effect on the showLines.

Examples

set the fixedLineHeight of bkgnd field id 24 to false
