property for text overflow?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi, I can't remember and find if there is a field property or a function to
check, if a text in a field fits in the visible part of the field. Something
like text overflow?

Or how can I compare the length of a text with the width of a field (single
line)? Probably done a thousand times.

Thanks

Tiemo

1. See dontWrap property
2. the formattedWidth of fld "MyField" > the width of fld "MyField"

Might help :-)

Best regards from Paris,

Hi Tiemo,

Check the 'formattedWidth' and 'formattedHeight' field
properties in the dictionary.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
