Hello, I tried to find out the topic in the forum because I'm sure somebody already asked for that but I'm not able to make a good search about that. Please let me know if I can find this topic somewhere or...

In case nobody asked before, in a JSON data source I have in one column the First Name of a person and in the second column his Family Name.
Since, of course, names can have different lenghts, is there any way to put the two test boxes one after the other and avoid having a fixed space in between?

Just to make a stupid example if in row 1 I have "Joe" as first name and "Springfield" as family name and in row 2 i have "Alexander" as first name and "Mayweather" as family name, is there any solution to have as a result "Joe Springfield" and "Alexander Mayweather" and not "Joe-space-space-space-space-space-space....Springfield"?

Thanks

Has been asked at some point somewhere before ;-)

You can not directly but a script can do it: have 2 invisible textboxes linked to the firstname and familyname , have the script read the content of both and combine them as one ( sprinkled with a bit of vb.net code to format things correclty) and send it to your visible textbox
