# AutoSize Class

> The AutoSize class is used with the TextControl.AutoControlSize property, to enable automatic expansion or shrinking of a Text Control's width or height. Additionally, it contains properties for setting maximum and minimum values. Automatic expansion or shrinking is only possible, if the TextControl.ViewMode property has been set to SimpleControl.
