NAV 2013: Report designer: How to prevent textbox overflow?

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

In NAV 2013 if the value you applies to textbox in RDLC doesn’t “fit” into the textbox, then the default is that the textbox “grows” by adding a new line to display the full text.

If you don’t want this, then by setting the property “CanGrow” to FALSE will prevent it from creating a new line.

So far so good!

But if the line height is higher than the text, then it will still flow over, just only in the existing textbox. The result is that only the top of the second line is shown.

So the question is: How to set your textbox to just show the first line without creating a new line inside the textbox?

Would like to add that when printing the report, then the textboxes shows fine (without the second “line”). The issue is only when previewing the report.
