Textbox Padding
Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2008 1:07 pm
I am trying to reproduce html/css style padding to easily give a textbox a 1-pixel pad of whitespace. Or if there is a different control than the text box that I can use to get this kind of behavior.
Here are the steps I am currently taking to get a table/grid with padded cells.
1. Drag on a new data band
2. Choose a data source
3. Double click the columns I want
4. Styling the cells with a border
At this point I would like to give this growing textbox padding. Instead I am creating a container that has the border on it, then within that I am creating a text box that is .1 pts from the edge of the container. Than at the bottom I am adding another container to pad the bottom of the container. Because when the container grows it ignores the space that was originally below the text box. I'm hoping there is a better way to do this.
