sub form can grow

[Question Boy]

I have a form with a tab control and a subform on it.

In the subform I have text boxes which have text that can exceed the size of
the text box. I set the form's properties so that the detail section Can
Grow = True as well as the subform's Can Grow = True in the parent form. But
it is not working.

I then tried to use a vertical scroll barm, and it does not appear.

What am I missing?

Thank you,

QB

In design view, you should be able to drag the textbox out to whatever size
you need.

It is set to the maximum with possible based on the overall form, thus the
reason why I want it to Grow based on the control's content, like in reports.

You state that you set the Form and Section CanGrow properties to Yes.

Did you set CanGrow for the Text box too?

 

[Question Boy]

Yes. However, in a print preview, the boxes expand to display the full
content of the control, but not on the screen for the user?

Yes. However, in a print preview, the boxes expand to display the
full content of the control, but not on the screen for the user?

CanGrow is for printing only (even in forms).

So much for that!

Perhaps you can guide me a little the.

I have a control for text. Right now the text can go beyond its width. I
tried to set the scrollbar to vertical thinking the user could scroll through
the content but it never appear?

To get a scroll bar your TextBox must be at least two lines tall. A one
line tall box only scrolls horizontally with the arrow keys.

Is there any way to wrap a line?

Once your box is more than one line tall it will soft-wrap automatically.
