Anchoring textbox to a page.

Hi,

In our project I have a matrix report. In that I need to anchor a textbox to the right end of the page, so that the textbox will always be at the right end of the report/page.

I also need to place the textbox at the page header. (but I am also open to solution / workarounds which does not include page header!!)

Thanks in advance

Arun.

any ideas?|||

If you just place a new textbox to the right hand side of your matrix control this will always display at the right hand side of the information displayed, also that textbox can live in the page header.....

Unless you are after something more complex it should be that simple, please provide more info if this is not quite what you are looking for.

we need the matix report and the textbox right aligned to the right margin of the page. ( the textbox's right edge and the matrix right edge edge should align).

thanks in advance...

|||within the properties page of the matrix control you have an option to grow content right to left or left to right, the default is left to right so change this and it may give you what you are looking for, Otherwise you would have to code the position based on screen width less size of control but this is another task all together, I would assume the property should fix you issues, then the textbox place will be pushed out by the matrix.|||

sorry Andy.. that too doesnt work.. it give a mirror image of the matix that is what we dont need!!..

any other ideas?

thanks

Hi

After much time trying to get this to happen unfortuantely there is no automated way to right align your matrix automatically, It is certianly something i would like to see MS put in as a feature as i would find it useful, The onyl thing you can do is to place the matrix as far right as possible within the designer.

Sorry I dont have a better solution for you here.
