Hi.

Autosize height changes the height in each row depending of data in column. As a result column may not have the same size in all rows. That's why definition remains what it was in design time, so you always get initial value.

One workaround would be to use rowheight() in a computed field. But even this would return row's height and not column's height! So this may be a workaround depending on what exactly you want to achieve.

Hi Berka;

  The Describe() is giving you the height in the DWO "Source" and not in the display buffer.

You might want to try using the Evaluate() command for this (just a guess)

Hi, Berka - 

Perhaps an alternative way to look at using Describe to report on the height of a column object is to realize that the Describe method does not provide any way to specify a row number. Since Autosize Height means that the column object's height can match or exceed the design height from row-to-row based on the data, the only alternative is for Describe to report on the height of the column object as it is defined in the DW Painter.
