I’m working on a report in SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) right now, and I’m having a problem getting a rectanlge I draw on the page in the report designer to grow. Basically, I’ve got a rectangle drawn, and then I put a text field inside of it. The contents of this text field can be either very short or very long, so I want it to grow to accomodate its contents.

But when I enter the long text, the textbox grows and then sticks outside of the lines of the rectangle. From the SSRS documentation I read, it says rectangles should grow to contain the items within them, and that those items are ‘peers’.

What gives?

  1. The only way I can get a textbox to breach the border of a rectangle is if the textbox is not actually inside the rectangle, but instead is underneath it.

    When the textbox is inside the rectangle, and when the textbox property CanGrow = TRUE then the textbox and its rectangle both grow vertically downward to accommodate large amounts of text.
