Text box rendered size

Status: Completed

Thank you for your request.

Please use the “Comment” text box. It stays with a given size and supports word wrapping.

I often create custom reports that have a box drawn "FreeFrame" with a text box "FreeText" inside. In some cases, I put too many characters in the text box and it breaks the bounds of the box. It is difficult to predict the size of the text box unless you use a font like courier. I would like the property of size added to the report text box.

 

  • The use case is update the text box with the text.
  •  Check the rendered text box size.
  • Adjust font size if the box exceeds the size of the surrounding box.
