Hello all,
I am trying to resize a textbox to exactly fit the contents. The
method I am using gets it close but it is just a little bit too small.
Could someone tell me where I am going wrong here please?
/* SYSTEM GENERATED FOR THE TEXTBOX */
//
// txt
//
this.txt.Border Style = System.Windows. Forms.BorderSty le.None;
this.txt.Font = new System.Drawing. Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25F,
System.Drawing. FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing. GraphicsUnit.Po int,
((System.Byte)( 0)));
this.txt.Locati on = new System.Drawing. Point(72, 48);
this.txt.MaxLen gth = 100;
this.txt.Name = "txt";
this.txt.Size = new System.Drawing. Size(288, 13);
this.txt.TabInd ex = 2;
this.txt.Text = "Test String";
/* MY CODE */
SDR.Graphics g = txt.CreateGraph ics();
SDR.Font fnt = new SDR.Font(txt.Fo nt, SDR.FontStyle.B old);
SDR.SizeF size = g.MeasureString (txt.Text, fnt);
txt.Width = SYS.Convert.ToI nt32(size.Width );
txt.Height = SYS.Convert.ToI nt32(size.Heigh t);
Thank you.

Hi,
You need to make it a little bigger than the text itself.

I want to pass a very long string to a multilined TextBox. After doing this,

Hi,
I have a multiline textbox in my application. It starts out as a single
line textbox. I want it to increase in height to accomodate another
line at runtime if the user input exceeds it's width.
Can this be done?
I have set the multiline and wordwrap properties to be true.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
