Question

I have a multi line text box like :

<asp:TextBox CssClass="txtform" ID="txtWhom" runat="server" Height="78px" 
     Rows="10" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>

say I write the following text in that text box :

Dear Sir,
General Manager,
HSBC.

when I take that text in a variable in the vb.net code behind… and send it to a crystal report to show … only … the first line is shown… in that case only “Dear Sir,” is shown … but I want all the text ….
What Can I do ?

Answer 1

Use "Can Grow" option for that text object in Crystal report.

=>Right Click -> Text Object
=>Select Format Object
=>Use Can grow option in the dialog box.

It enables for variable length fields to grow vertically in the report and word wrap automatically. A maximum number of lines can be set with this option to control rogue or large data elements.
