HTML Text Boxes not shrinking

[Zack]

I have a report with a detail section that has a few html textboxes that have the value bound to a field. If that field is empty, I want the html textbox to shrink. I have CanShrink set to true. It works for regular textboxes. Am I missing something?

In the designer code I also set the visibility to false and the height and widths but it still keeps the report spaced out.

        private void detail_ItemDataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection procDetail = sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.DetailSection;

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.HtmlTextBox txtSpecialTests = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.HtmlTextBox)Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ElementTreeHelper.GetChildByName(procDetail, "txtSpecialTests");

            if (txtSpecialTests != null)
            {
                if (txtSpecialTests.Value.ToString() == "")
                {
                    txtSpecialTests.Visible = false;
                    txtSpecialTests.Height = new Unit(0);
                    txtSpecialTests.Width = new Unit(0);
                }
            }
}

Thanks,

Zack

Hello Zack,

Generally Telerik Reporting is data driven reporting solution. Thus when you want to hide the detail section based on some condition, our recommendation is set up a report Filter. Give it a try and if you need additional assistance please elaborate further on your scenario.
