Resize a field to the width of its contents

Hi,
I have a field and I need a way for it to resize its width to the the width of text that is in the field. The text in the field could be any length, but will not span over multiple lines.
Any ideas?
Andrew

See the formattedWidth property in the Dictionary, e.g.:
set the width of fld 1 to the formattedWidth of fld 1

Hi Andrew,

Try the following-

Code: Select all

set the width of field "your field" to the formattedwidth of field "your field

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
