Determine When Text Will Not Fit Within a Label

rbuser

Is it possible to detect when the text in a database field will not fit
within the assigned confines of a DB report field?

Thanks,

Yes, you can determine this by performing a Canvas.TextWidth call. Here is
an exmaple that uses this call to shrink the text to fit inside a fixed
width (non autosized) label.
