DataRepeater Control

I have created a data-bound ActiveX control that reads a memo field from a table. The control resizes itself according to the amount of text it contains. This works great when the control is placed on a form and connected to a adodc. I then placed the control in a DataRepeater. Everything works except the resize. Each row of the DataRepeater contains a copy (actually a bitmap according to the documentation) of the data-bound control with a standard row height.

I need the DataRepeater to set each row to the actual height of the control, which is determined at run-time, and not to display all rows with the same height. Any ideas will be welcome
