access thread: text wrap and resizable forms/labels/textboxes.


Message #1 by "Phillip Johnson" <phillip.johnson@e...> on Mon, 20 May 2002 19:27:52
Hello,

I have a problem in that I have a resizable form.  There is a box with 
some labels in on the left hand side that link when clicked on.  For 
example, the labels may be displayed as below when the form opens (note 
the wrapping):

========================================================

Click here 
to add a 
new item.

Click here 
to delete 
an old item.

========================================================

Now, when the form is resized so that it is wider, the space containing 
these labels gets wider and the labels do not need to wrap as much.  As a 
result, I am getting something similar to below (note the huge gap between 
the labels):

========================================================

Click here to add a new item.





Click here to delete an old item.

========================================================

When what I really want is for the second label to move up to just beneath 
the first label as below (note the normal gap between the labels):

========================================================

Click here to add a new item.

Click here to delete an old item.

=========================================================

Does anybody know a way of doing this?  Is there a way of getting the 
label to fit the caption heightwise.  I would then be able to calculate 
the top of the second label from there.

If there is another way of doing this in access, using say textboxes, then 
I am willing to give it a go.

Any help in this matter would be very much appreciated,

Kind regards,  Phillip.
