Findout out height of box using WriteBox and VFREE

[mkmann]

Hello,

I am using WriteBox and VFREE to write a row to a report:
.WriteBox(X, Y, X + width, VFREE, VPEFormatString & strText)

However sometimes the box created is large then the remaining page size - is there a way to preview what the size will be before writing to the page ? I do not want to do an automatic page break because at each new page we write special headers and page borders

Thanks

See the Rendering methods, i.e. in your case VPE.RenderWriteBox().

You can pre-compute the dimensions of text objects, rich text objects and images (and starting with v4.0 also of 2D barcodes).
