CanShrink Property (TextBox)

Determines whether ActiveReports should decrease the height of the field based on its value.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property CanShrink As System.Boolean

public System.bool CanShrink {get; set;}

Property Value

A Boolean value that determines the behavior. If False, ActiveReports does not change the height of the control based on the size of its content. If True, ActiveReports decreases the height of the control and shifts all controls below it to account for the decrease in height.

Remarks

The decrease in height might cause the section height to decrease when the section's CanShrink property is set to True. ActiveReports does not shift any controls below the shrinking control unless there are not intersecting controls along the shifting path.

Example

private void detail_Format(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{
    this.textBox1.CanGrow = true;
    this.textBox1.CanShrink = false;
    this.textBox1.MultiLine = true;
    this.textBox1.WordWrap = true;
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub Detail1_Format(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Detail1.Format
   Me.TextBox1.CanGrow = True
   Me.TextBox1.CanShrink = False
   Me.TextBox1.MultiLine = True
   Me.TextBox1.WordWrap = True
End Sub
