auto-expanding text field in table?

[Former Community Member]

I'm very new to LiveCycle, but I'm starting to get the feel for some of the basics, i think

Right now, I'm looking for text fields (in a table) to "add multiple lines" but at the same time to be visual on screen - so i guess the size of the rows would have to dynamically increase size based on the amount of info being added in that text field...

Is this at all possible, and if so how do i go about doing it?

Thanks

Hi,

Here is an example that explores the different settings you can have for a textfield. You can apply these to textfields in a table as well.

Hope that helps,

lol, i did wonder if that was the case....that once you print it will expand but i didn't test it.  Now i know for sure.

Thanks!

Hi,

Just to note, the standard expand on exit behaviour is extended in the last example. If you look there is script in the prePrint and postPrint events. This is what expands the field just before printing.

Good luck,

Niall
