Hey Javed,

Is there some visibility running on Rectangle as well or else Is Rectangle too somewhere inside list which is hampering this.

Thanks

how do you create the rectangle? setting the borders of the textbox or is it an own graphics control outside the textbox (my suggestion) ? if you use the borders of the textbox, then it it shrinked or is invisible, when the textbox control property hidden is set to true.

Hey Javed,

lets try somthing different. Instead of using the hidden property of the textboxes, try to integrate your hidden Expression in the normal Expression:

=iif(Fields!Test.Value = False, Fields!ToShow.Value, "");

In this case your TextBox will be empty and the space of the rectangle is still reserved. There is no shrinking! Try this and give us a comment, if this works!

best regards

Robert
