[SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatBehavior)]
public bool AutoWidth { get; set; }Property Value

| Boolean | false | true, to automatically adjust the width to accommodate the label text; otherwise, false. |
Remarks
Use the AutoWidth property to always print an XRLabel‘s text in full, without limiting it by the control’s dimensions. This is often required if a label’s text is supplied from a data source and is not immediately available at Visual Studio design time (e.g., if a label has been assigned a summary function).
When using this feature, consider the following.
The result of using this option depends on the XRControl.WordWrap property value.
- if the WordWrap property is enabled, a label’s width can be only decreased;
- if the WordWrap property is disabled, a label’s width can either be increased or decreased to best fit a label’s contents.
- This option has no effect on the width or position of other report controls.
This option depends on the current horizontal alignment setting of a label (the XRControl.TextAlignment property value).
