kram Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've done some searching and came up empty-handed; hoping some of you can help. Currently I have a GUI Inputbox for text input. I'm wondering if it's possible to auto expand the input box width (in the same GUI) as text is entered, so that as a user types, the width of the input box expands. That way the user can always see the entirety of their input. I was tossing around the idea of a function that will modify the GUI input box width as defined character limit thresholds are exceeded, but I'm hoping someone has a better idea. Thanks!
