Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
controlname |
The control for which you want to get or set the AutoSize property. |
|
value |
Whether the width or height of the control will be adjusted to display all the data. The height is limited to what can fit on the page. Values are: No -- Use the height defined in the painter. Yes -- Calculate the height so that all the data is visible. |
Usage
In the painter
Select the control and set the value in the Properties view, Position tab, Autosize Height check box.
Minimum height
The height of the column, computed field, or text will never be less than the minimum height (the height selected in the painter).
When the band has Autosize Height set to true, you should avoid using the RowHeight DataWindow expression function to set the height of any element in the row. Doing so can result in a logical inconsistency between the height of the row and the height of the element. For more information, see the RowHeight function description.
Examples
string setting
setting = dw1.Object.empname.Height.AutoSize
dw1.Object.empname.Height.AutoSize = "Yes"
setting = dw1.Describe("empname.Height.AutoSize")
dw1.Modify("empname.Height.AutoSize=Yes")See also
