Set the width of textbox once added to the detail section programatically

[Subrahmanya Kadiyala]

Hi,

I have 2 sections in my report. One isTextbox and other is panel. The textbox is added to the detail section and then the panel. I want to set the width of textbox to the panel. I tried to do it in Textbox_itemDatabound property but no change. I see that once the report is rendered the colspan of td in which this textbox is set to 1 instead of 2. Is there any way of setting the width equivalent to the panel width before rendering the report.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Subrahmanya Kadiyala,

There is no problem to set the TextBox width programmatically:

textBox1.Width = new Unit(..

However you have to keep in mind that report items can grow when data is processed. Since the panel is a container it can get wider according to the items inside it. If you bind the TextBox width to the panel width the textbox will be as wide as the panel in design-time (if the panel gets wider afterwards, the textbox will not).

If you set the textBox Docking property to "Fill" it will take the space of the parent container (this combined with another panel that contains inside both the panel and the textbox, might serve your purpose). Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean to say that I have to add the textbox and panel in the panel which is parent container for them and in that set the docking property of textbox to fill?
Thanks,

Hi Subrahmanya Kadiyala,

Yes, this is what I meant, sorry for the created confusion. That of course is if the first case I mentioned, doesn't suit you.
