How to fit text in text box in report

Question

Is there any way to fit text of a textbox field inside it without going to the second line. In case text length is greater then the text box size, it should simply terminate the line with a "..." and should not wrap to the next line. I'm currently using a substring() to do this, but many times it only brings in only the first few letters of a word instead of the normal word-wrap behavior which breaks at space character.

Hi waseem,

There are two properties for text box, CanGrow and CanShrink, make both the properties to "false", and do your coding to display "...".

Hope this will help
