Change font size at runtime

[Andrew]

Hi,

I'm investigating the possibility of using Telerik Reporting for a solution I'm developing.

Part of the report (invoice) needs to be re sizable to keep things looking as the client says 'professional' I can do this in one of two ways:
a) Duplicate the report for each font size I want to replicate
b) Alter the font size of specific report areas at runtime based injected parameter (conditional formating) or via the code that launches the report (instantiate a report object and twiddle with it's object model)

Obviously I would like to avoid option a as it generates duplication in the code :(

Is option b possible using either conditional formating or via tweaking of the report object?

Hello Andrew,

Yes you can either use Conditional Formatting or Bindings for the Font property. Both approaches are correct, but note the TextBox would not grow horizontally to accommodate the increased font, so plan your layout accordingly.

Hi,
Thanks for the confirmation.
I'm guessing that while the text box would not grow horizontally it would (as I guess it would for content loaded from the db) format the text wrapping where needed and then allowing the text box to grow vertically, would this be correct?

Again thanks for the reply

Hi Andrew,

Yes, the textbox would grow vertically only and your data would be wrapped according to the new font size.
