Hi Francis,
This is very simple:
set the height of fld x to the formattedHeight of fld x
set the width of fld x to the formattedWidth of fld x
or
set the rect of fld x to the formattedRect of fld x
I would store the topleft of the field before setting the rect and
restore the topleft afterwards.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Hi from Paris,
I have a hidden field that I want to display after I have put a
specific text in it. The text is of variable size.
The size of field required is obviously based on the "textSize",
"textFont" and "number of characters" values. I need to set the
size of the field (rect) so that it is just big enough for the text
to be displayed.
If I had a few days available, I could surely work out an algorithm
to do this, but I need to get the new version of my application out
of the door quickly.
Has anybody come across this problem (and solved it) ?
Many Thanks
-Francis
