..FutureHeight is used to find out the height of an auto-resizing control in a report when it is enlarged. This property is mainly used to increase the size of a control located beside an auto-resizing control (in a form report for example).

// If the control is going to be resized before it is printed
IF MyControl..Height < MyControl..FutureHeight THEN
// Resize its neighbor
NeighborControl..Height = MyControl..FutureHeight
END
Syntax
<Future height> = <Control used>..FutureHeight
<Future height>: Integer
Height of the control (including the border) expressed in millimeters when this control is enlarged.
<Control used>: Control name
Name of the auto-resizing control to use.
Remarks

Caution: mode for calculating the future height

The future height of an auto-resizing control is calculated according to the content of the control when ..FutureHeight is called.
Therefore, if the property is called in the "Before printing" event of the body block, the future height of one of the controls in the body block will ignore the assignments performed by programming in the control "Before printing" event.

Limits

  • This property only applies to auto-resizing controls in the reports. A control is auto-resizing if the "Auto-resizing" option is checked in the control description window ("UI" tab).
  • This property does not apply to the RTF controls.
