ShrinkToFit textbox

[ruby]

I know ShrinkToFit works only when printing a control, but
is there some method that works this way for a control on
a form? I have a Memo field displayed in a text box, but
I don't want to have to use up screen real estate if
there's only one line of text in the field. And I don't
want the user to have to use scroll bars. Am I hoping for
something that doesn't exist?

Ruby,

What about Shift F2 ... to invoke the Zoom box?
That would allow you to retain a moderate control size and still allow
fairly convenient viewing of large chunks of text. And best of all, it's a
built-in feature, so no code to write (unless you want to).

Thank you. I didn't even know about Shift F2. It isn't
as elegant as ShrinkToFit works when printing reports, but
it will give the user another way to look at the data.
And no coding for me!

Thanks!
