Configures whether to automatically adjust the height of the control when the content (i.e. text) is larger than the size of the container.
Generators: Android, Apple, Angular
This property allows you to automatically adjust the height of the control (included in a Panel object) when the content (i.e. text) is larger than the size of the container.
| True |
The height of the control grows automatically, as much as necessary to show all the content. |
| False |
The height of the control does not grow automatically. It is up to the control to adjust the content when it is larger than the container; e.g. containers may add scroll bars if possible, text controls may clip text or add scroll bars, etc. |
This property applies to different types of controls: containers and text. The default value depends on the type of control. The following table lists the controls that support this property and their default values.

The attribute grows if the item is bigger than the cell where it is contained. The table grows and has scroll bars. |
The table might grow, but since the attribute does not, the table does not. |

The table doesn't grow; therefore, the attributes inside it are limited by the table. In other words, the auto grow property of the attributes is ignored. (*) |
None of them grow. |
In some cases, you may wish to see many records in the grid, although the text does not fit; in other cases, you may wish to see the whole text, although the grid is larger and fewer rows are shown.
