OptionGroup.SizeToFit Method (Access)
You can use the SizeToFit method to size a control so it fits the text or image that it contains.
Syntax
expression .SizeToFit
expression A variable that represents an OptionGroup object.
Remarks
For example, you can apply the SizeToFit method to a command button that is too small to display all the text in its Caption property.
You can apply the SizeToFit method to controls only in form Design view or report Design view.
The SizeToFit method will make a control larger or smaller, depending on the size of the text or image it contains.
You can use the SizeToFit method in conjunction with the CreateControl method to size new controls that you have created in code.
Note
Not all controls that contain text or an image can be sized by the SizeToFit method. Several controls are bound to data that can vary in size from one record to the next. These controls include the text box, list box, combo box, and bound object frame controls. The SizeToFit method does not apply to controls on data access pages.
Example
The following example creates a new form and creates a new command button on the form. The procedure then sets the control's Caption property and sizes the control to fit the caption.
Sub SizeNewControl()
Dim frm As Form, ctl As Control
' Create new form.
Set frm = CreateForm
' Create new command button.
Set ctl = CreateControl(frm.Name, _
acCommandButton, , , , 500, 500)
' Restore form.
DoCmd.Restore
' Set control's Caption property.
ctl.Caption = "Extremely Long Control Caption"
' Size control to fit caption.
ctl.SizeToFit
End Sub
