FutureHeight (Property)

In french: HauteurFuture

..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).

Reminder: the current height of a control is returned by ..Height.

This property is now available for reports in iPhone/iPad applications.

New in version 18

Versions 21 and later

New in version 21

This property is now available in Universal Windows 10 App mode.

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. An control is auto-extensible if the "Auto-resizing" option is checked in the description window of the control (tab "UI").
This property does not apply to the RTF controls.
