adjusting label width according to text

[tufanv]

Hello,

I found out that via string utils i can mesaue the height but is there any way to set the label's width according to text's length ( for example if label is hello the width will be shorter but if its hello world than it will be longer )

TY

tufanv .. this might be of interest ...
Measure String Width

once you have the string width value then you can apply to Label.width

You can set the width to -2. This is a special constant that sets the width to match the text.

I made a try now and the problem is :

I have 4 labels side to side. In my designers script when i change the widths of all labels to -2 , i cant place them side by side easily because the left values of all labels are calculated by previouslabel.width + previouslabel.left. Am I doing stg wrong or do i need to change all the code for this new widths ? or a better question . is there a better way to put multiple objects side by side more easier ? :sign0104:

TY

It will be difficult to use -2 with multiple labels that need to be located one after another.

Why not use a single label with the text of all the labels? The result will be the same.

There are little pictures between all of the labels . Thats the problem i think

adjusts the text size to fit the label width. It may be an alternative to look at.
