height and width of a fixed prtinted object
Hi All, environment v 15. I have a printed form with a few fixed height and width objects that are set to multi style. If object gets to large (width or height). I will be placing text on another page and a note that states more info is in comments section I thought operhaps I could use object get best size,but find it does not work as I expected I have the following code *C_LONGINT*($OLeft_L;$ORight_L;$OTop_L;$OBottom_L;$BWidth_l;$BHieght_L; $OWidth_L;$OHeight_L) *OBJECT GET COORDINATES*(*;"v_164_056_txt";$OLeft_L;$OTop_L;$ORight_L; $OBottom_L) $OWidth_L:=$ORight_L-$OLeft_L $OHeight_L:=$OBottom_L-$OTop_L *ST SET TEXT*(v_164_056_txt;"CAUSE OF DAMAGE : "+ [LSS_Inspection]LSS_DamageCause_txt;ST Start text;ST End text) $pos_L:=*Position*(":";v_164_056_txt) // *ST SET ATTRIBUTES*(v_164_056_txt;1;$pos_L+2;Attribute bold style;1) *ST SET ATTRIBUTES*(v_164_056_txt;1;$pos_L+2;Attribute background color ;"LightGray") v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " v_164_056_txt:=v_164_056_txt+" Testing height this is a test with losts of wrapping and no CRs. " *OBJECT GET BEST SIZE*(*;"v_164_056_txt";$BWidth_l;$BHieght_L) Thde width is way to wide. Is there a way I can adjust this so as to not exceed the width as it appears on the form so only hieght changes in object get best size I am planning on writing some additional code to place text in arrays and populate the text area one word at a time. If it gets too wide. I will add a carriage return. This is a a lot of coding but should wortk. Any other ideas out there Thanks and regards Chuck -- - Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Fax: (617) 232-1064 Informed Solutions, Inc.

Hi Chuck, If I’m understanding what you’re after, you just need to use the max width parameter with OBJECT GET BEST SIZE. HTH. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc.
