Dynamic Textbox height?

Hi,

I often have a 'label' text box next to a 'data' textbox. If the data textbox expands how can I get the label to match it in height?. I tried to set the height of one to the height of the other but got errors.

Thanks,

Best way would be to use a table, the row the label and the textbox are in would be sized at the same size then.

Dear,

U can do it by using functioin.Your testbox and label size will be same.

U can try this

="hello" & space(len(Parameters!SaleOrderNo.Value)) & "."

In passed these parameter with in a lable(textbox).

Parameters!SaleOrderNo.Value in a textbox.

Hope this helps u.

Thanks Sufian,

But I'm not following what you are saying. I believe you are saying to create a report parameter and then use this code:

space(len(Parameters!SaleOrderNo.Value)) & "."

I did this (using my own values of course) but am not able to make it work. Please explain what I'm not understanding.

Thanks,

Dear,

suppose u have a lable and a textbox.

In textbox u have a value(!Fieldname.value)

In the label function box write the code like this

="hello" & space(len(!fieldname.value)) & "."

So it will read the (!fieldname)length and add that length to ur lable with space function.I used a dot "." at last in the function because there should be something to hold the space.

U can customise the code according to ur need.

Thanks again, Sufian.

However for some reason this technique doesn't expand the textbox either horizontally or vertically. Even when I force it using Space(250) and the "." it still doesn't expand the textbox. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Dear failfield,

I read ur question. In that u had written that when the size of the testbox is increased the lable size should be increaed automatically.

U had not written anything like that u need to increase the size of the textbox.

BTW there should be a object to hold another object detail.

for example

if u need to increase the size of the lable in refence to height u need to hold the height of the textbox in ur lable.

suppose u have a textbox1. and u have a text lets say "Hello world"

and a lable lable1 with text hello.

Now u need that lable should be of the same size as the text.(in refrence to height only)

then in the function box write the same code i had written.

="hello" & space(len("helloworld")) & "." .

U can also use a field in place ot "helloword".

All this code is written in lable function window.

Hope this helps u.
