I have a bunch of buttons that are populated with multi-lines. Once they are populated I want to change the size of the text so that you can see all the text and none is cut off.
Because the amount of text changes I can't use a set Textsize
How can I tell if the button is showing all the text?

I want to have a text box which allows you to enter the size of a grid, like the width and height. I want the text box to have a comma in the center so you can put the width on the left of it and the height on the right. (width,height)
How can I add this comma in and make it so it can't be changed by the user and acts as a divider between the values of the width and height.
You can use a MaskedTextBox rather than a TextBox, this will let you set an input mask for the required input, however you may need to fix the number of digits.
We are using a Dojo List Text Box element containing many values. Now there are so many values, that it can hardlly be displayed in on row. But instead of staying in the frame given by the table cell, the textbox gets so big, that you need to scroll horizontally to see als values. See:
How can I force the text box to start a new line, as soon as the frame of our table cell is reached?
Currently this is our text box:
<xp:td style="width:80%">
<xe:djextListTextBox id="djPersonSerialLetters"
value="#{docApplication.PersonSerienbrief}" multipleSeparator="," multipleTrim="true">
</xe:djextListTextBox>
</xp:td>
The best way to describe the problem is trough the following image
It's very anti-estetic, can i limit the width of the label box, while forcing the text to spread in lines below?
Yes you have to set the Autosize property of the RadioButton to false and resize the control. The text will spread over multiple lines.
Alternatively you can insert "\n" in the text - works only at run-time
How can I change the font size of a TextBox but keep the TextBox height?
At the moment each time I try to change the font size the TextBox height re-sizes based on the font size, I sort of got it to work by changing the TextBox to multiline but only want a single line Textbox.
The textbox control has a hidden AutoSize property which can be disabled
textBox1.AutoSize = False
textBox1.Height = 50
which I added to foo_load, you do end up with a large box and small font and looks a little odd due to textbox not having any padding property but this can be rectified by putting a panel behind it and positioning the textbox just inside.
In WinForms you can set the MinimumSize and/or the MaximumSize properties of the TextBox in order to override the automatic adjustment of the TextBox height, when the font height changes.
Note that setting the minimum and maximum size does not change the TextBox size immediately. But when you change the width of the TextBox in the form designer, its height will be changed to be within the specified limits.
I have a report that I need to increase the size of the textbox base on the length of the text. There some formula to calculate the resulting lenght size?
You can either go for a Label with the AutoSize property set to True. Or if you want to stick to TextBox, you can make use of MeasureString method and get the width of the text from there. Use that width to set the width of TextBox.
