tufanv Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 9, 2013 #1 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

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 9, 2013 #3 You can set the width to -2. This is a special constant that sets the width to match the text. Upvote 0

tufanv Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 9, 2013 #5 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 Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 9, 2013 #6 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. Upvote 0
