Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

I have a string variable in my report that displays a text.
The variable displays as a variable-dropdownbox when running the report.

When the dropdownbox is open the entire text is shown, but when you select an item it cut’s the text in half.
(The width of the variable-dropdownbox seems to be set to a default value…I would expect the width to be dynamic)

I there a setting that allows you to change the width of the variable-dropdownbox, or do you have any other suggestions on how I can fix this?

Hello,

As a way, you can set the Width of Text component in the BeginRender event.

Thank you.

Hi,

I tried your suggestion, but my variable has DataSource = DataColumns, not Items.
So it renders as a dropdownbox not as a textbox.
I copied Text1 from your example and changed the variable-name to match mine, but the dropdown width was not increased.

Could you create another example, or explain in more detail how I should do this?

Just to clarify: The variable I would like to increase the width for is displayed as a dropdown in the report parameters panel ("Request from user panel")

Hello.

Unfortunately, it's impossible now.
