Is there a way to change the default generated code wrapping width in the Delphi IDE Editor?

Now that I have a widescreen monitor, I can't seem to find a way to make the Delphi IDE wrap generated code at anything other than 80 chars. I've set the "Right margin" setting in the IDE Editor options to a high value, but it doesn't appear to affect the wrapping that happens on generated events and code lines. Does anyone know of a way to set it? Perhaps a hidden registry setting? Alternately, are there any IDE addons that do this? Thanks for any suggestions!

For Formatter:

Tools > Options - Formatter > Delphi > Line breaks - General > Right margin

Until the IDE offers a little more flexibility or configuration in this area, one option might be to use a code formatting tool to tidy up the code inserted by the IDE.

Delphi 2010 will come with a highly configurable code formatter "built in", but there are other alternatives available now. One which comes with an IDE plug-in is the JEDI Code Formatter, and the information pages for that contain references to other alternatives which may be of help even if the JEDI solution itself is not.

In D2007 and up, setting Tools|Options|Editor Options|Display|Right margin to 100 causes the event generated from the Object Inspector to wrap after the 100th character...

I just tried :

procedure TForm7.AVeryLongMethodNameqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState;
  MousePos: TPoint; var Handled: Boolean);

Those events which are inserted using code templates can be modified by editing the template files (they are xml documents in the C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\xxxx\ObjRepos\Code_Templates\Delphi directory)

As far as I know there is no plugin or setting to change where generated code wraps outside of templates.
