AutoSize Property Example

The following example demonstrates the effects of the AutoSize property with a single-line TextBox and a multiline TextBox. The user can enter text into either of the TextBox controls and turn AutoSize on or off independently of the contents of the TextBox. This code sample also uses the Text property.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• Two TextBox controls named TextBox1 and TextBox2.
• A ToggleButton named ToggleButton1.

Dim ToggleButton1
Dim TextBox1
Dim TextBox2

Sub Item_Open()
  Set ToggleButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").ToggleButton1
  Set TextBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").TextBox1
  Set TextBox2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").TextBox2

  TextBox1.Text = "Single-line TextBox. Type your text here."
    
  TextBox2.MultiLine = True
  TextBox2.Text = "Multi-line TextBox. Type your text here. Use SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line."
    
  ToggleButton1.Value = True
  ToggleButton1.Caption = "AutoSize On"
  TextBox1.AutoSize = True
  TextBox2.AutoSize = True
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
  If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
    ToggleButton1.Caption = "AutoSize On"
    TextBox1.AutoSize = True
    TextBox2.AutoSize = True
  Else
    ToggleButton1.Caption = "AutoSize Off"
    TextBox1.AutoSize = False
    TextBox2.AutoSize = False
  End If
End Sub
