fit text to annotation text box, or text box form field SOLVED

[prime clinical systems]

Hi is there a method to auto fit by font size reduction to existing text annot or form field?
Found this: Call TxtEdit.EditCtl.SetAutoFitMinMax(Fontsizemin, fontsizemax) but not sure how to use.
Thanks

Hello Clifford,

I will consult with the developer who made this feature and will reply whether it's possible directly.

Well, maybe I did not explain myself correctly. Say that I inserted a text form field that holds a persons name inline with some other typed text. Sometimes, the name is too long at the current font size to fit in the box, so that's why I asked about fitting the text to the box with smaller font so the name would not be cut off. If this is not possible, I believe I can do this with a picture box in VB that can calculate font size based on text length to fit the box, still playing with that, but thought you may have a way already.
Thanks

Hello Clifford,

The code that I gave you a link to does precisely what you need - it fits the text inside the Text Editor's box. Though too bad that it won't work for you.

Actually the new build for the txtedit.FitByTextSize does this for text form fields, but a few observations about this new method.
For example, set (True,False) or (false,true) work the same way, perfect for form fields reducing the font size to fit the text, but for a text box it appends the text and auto adjusts for height, not width in either case. Typewriter tool always does width with these settings, which is fine because no way to know the width. Editing the content works same way.
If you set (True,True) for text box and call out does same as true false, false true, always adjusts for height, never width, form field text always fits text box, the edit content works to height and width
if you set (False, False) form field still auto fits text to box, and edit content still resizes by height.

Regardless, for me it works fine, just fitting text to form field was what I needed, and the autoexpand of text when I use my own editor is fine now as well, thanks.
