You can set the length of the control manually in design mode. You can also
use code to set the length at run-time. There is code at www.lebans.com for
doing more stuff with sizing and/or changing font size.

Could you tell us why you want to change the width/length? This is a bit
unusual since most developers get by with allowing a control height to grow.

HI Duane,

I am new to this fields. My concerns is if I draw a small size' s text box ,
some characters will be truncated.

Set the Control's CanGrow property to Yes.
Also set the Report's Detail CanGrow property to Yes.

If the control is too short to accommodate all it's text, it will grow
in height, as will the detail section.
