Designing Reports > Layout Dynamic Report Content > Maintain the Size and Content of Data-Bound Controls

Use the control's Can Grow and Can Shrink properties to make a data-bound control automatically adjust its height to its contents.

Can Grow = No

Can Grow = Yes

Can Shrink = No

Can Shrink = Yes

Note:

This feature does not work with anchoring enabled, as well as for labels that are used to display summary function results.

Use the Auto Width property to make a data-bound Label or Character Comb automatically adjust its width to its content. This option behavior depends on the control's current horizontal alignment (Text Alignment property value).

•Text Alignment = Left

•Text Alignment = Right

•Text Alignment = Center

The control's Word Wrap property allows you to make a control display its contents in multiple lines when it does not fit into the control's dimensions.

Auto Width = No, Word Wrap = No

Auto Width = No, Word Wrap = Yes

You can also use the opposite Text Fit Mode property to adjust a label or table cell's font size to fit the control's bounds. Images below show how the Word Wrap property affects the label's font size.

Text Fit Mode = None

Text Fit Mode = Grow Only

Text Fit Mode = Shrink Only

Text Fit Mode = Shrink And Grow
