Resize textbox based on amount of text

[N1c0_ds]

Would there be a way to calculate the textbox size based on how much lines of text there is in it? I don't want to have a scollable control in another scrollable control and that seems to be the best solution.

A multiline textbox without scrollbars will help you?

I know but I already scroll the whole form (using a panel in a panel) so it makes a frame in a frame. Not cool.

You can use ImageLib.StringWidth and ImageLib.StringHeight to estimate the size required to display a string.

Thanks for the tip. I decided to just works with 3 "pages" instead of showing it all on a single panel.

How can you get a MultiLine Textbox without a vertical Scrollbar?

You can do it with the Door library.
Example in the attached program.

Best regards.

Thank you Klaus but I am having trouble implementing this. How would one go
about it on App Start just showing one textbox?

Changing the text alignment of a textbox with FormLib.TextAlignment will also change it to a multiline textbox without scrollbars as a side effect.
So you can just change the alignment to left (which will have no effect on the alignment) and it will become a multiline textbox without scrollbars.

Erel's solution is easier than what I proposed.

But the App_Start routine would look like this.
