Setting text box width in WF

asked on June 19, 2015

I'm applying a date received "stamp" using a textbox in WF. The Text Box text is just set to %(Date).

When this runs, the text box is very small and you have to drag the corners to expand it. Here's a sample (the SqlConnection is just part of my test document)

 

I'd like it to show fully expanded without having to manually resize, like this:

 

How do I do this?

Wonder if it's related to the DPI of the Laserfiche page then. Trying to pin point this down because I had users report this issue very rarely when the workflow wouldn't size the textbox appropriately.

This is not currently supported in Workflow.

Here's a trick I picked up to accomplish what you're after.

 

 

The text box will size to the length of the token name.

 

Happy trails,

Hi Andrew,

 

I can't replicate this. My text box is resizing properly with the following settings.

 

9.2.1 is the workflow version I'm on

Thanks Carl.

Those settings look pretty much identical except for the font size (I had 10).

And I'm pretty sure it was sizing to fill the contents before I edited the WF. Maybe I'll create a new WF and see if that behaves differently. 

But we are on 9.2.0, so maybe an update would help?

A new workflow with settings identical to yours did not fix it.

My apologies I'm on 9.2 as well for WF.

-9.2.1 for the LF client

-9.2.0 build 485 for the LF server.

-9.2.0.67 for web access

 

Here's the WF loaded assemblies from the WF Admin console

I think the DPI is where this is having problems. After reading your last comment, I checked my sample pages and they were all 1200x1200. I just tried it on a more realistic 300x300 doc and it shows perfectly. 

Thanks!
