Good day!

I am working on an app that will be deployed to a 1024 x 768 resolution monitor. I have this name and address fields in the datawindow, some of the details fit in the field but majority does not. How to change the font size in real time if for example: the length of the text is <= 28 then the font size is 16 else font size is 10.

Thank you.

Hi.

You can create an expression for each column in your datawindow. Right-click on your column, choose properties, go to font tab, and in size property fill an expression.

if(len(<your_column>) > 28, 80, 60)

Andreas.
