CanGrow, CanShrink properties

Top  Previous  Next

Every band and report object has these properties. They determine whether an object can grow or shrink depending on the size of its contents. If both properties are disabled, the object always has the size specified in the designer.

 

These properties are very useful, if it is needed to print a text whose size is not known when designing. In order for an object  to  accommodate the entire text, it needs to have the "CanGrow" and "CanShrink" properties enabled:

The following objects can affect the height of a band:

 

"Text";
"Rich Text";
"Picture" (with "AutoSize" property enabled);
"Table".
