EXPANDING MESSAGE AREA

 

This example has a container that will automatically expand to fit the amount of text you type.  They're very simple to do.   :O))

 

First create your container and set all the "edges" rather than defining the size of the container.  In this example I set the left and right edges at 150 pixels and the bottom and top at 50 pixels.

 

Next insert a Message Area, making sure it's not in any container.  Then simply set all the margins to be larger than the ones you set for the edges.  That will place the text inside the container.  In this example I set the left and right margins at 200 pixels and the top and bottom margins at 70 pixels.

 

I'm going to add some more text below so that you can see how the container automatically expands to fit the text.
