Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

#Declaration

[Browsable(true)]
public override bool CanShrink { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description

When the CanShrink property is set to true and the label’s text does not completely fill the label, its height will be decreased to the height of its text.

When using this feature, consider the following.

Report controls are converted to bricks in the printed document layout, and we cannot change the brick’s size after document creation. If you have an editable control, it is not possible to automatically change the control’s size according to new text in the printed document layout. The editable area cannot exceed the control’s original dimensions.
