CanShrink property

I'm confused about this property. I have a textbox that I want to appear
under certain conditions. If it's not visible, won't it shrink as well if I
set the property? Thanks!Yes.

(say, always true), the textbox won't collapse. On the other hand, if the
Hidden property of the textbox is an expression like following:
=iif(ReportItems!textbox3.Value = "Test", true, false)
then the space occupied by the textbox will be collapsed when the expression
evaluates to true. This is regardless of the CanShrink property.
Note that CanShrink property only applies to height, not width - it
indicates whether the height of a textbox can decrease according to its
content.
