B4A Class Slightly modified AutoTextSizeLabel

Hi everyone, for necessity i added some fields to the famous AutoTextSizeLabel class.
The fields added are:

Version 1.4

• Access Tag Property: You can now use the .Tag property to set/access this value also from designer

Version 1.3

• Min Text Size: Specify the minium size of the text of the label (less than this can't go)
• Max Text Size: Specify the minium size of the text of the label (more than this can't go)
• Ignore User Font Scale: Specify if the label should ignore the fact that the user could have widened the interface (n.b. default: True)

maybe that are dumb changes, but to me were useful, so.. here you are.

Bye

Why when i use long text the font size come small automatically ?

It's the desired effect.

Once you set the Label size (e.g. in the designer) the text inside will be scaled automatically to fit inside, taking in account also the Min Text Size and Max Text Size limits.


(maybe I didn't understand correctly what you meant)

i used this

ASL.BaseLabel.TextSize(Max("50"),Min("10"))

but not working there is error

 

[Mike1970]

i used this

ASL.BaseLabel.TextSize(Max("50"),Min("10"))

but not working there is error

At the moment I can’t pick you an example. I’ll do it later.

However you are not supposed to use it like this.

you can set the limits using the ASL methods.
that should be MinTextSize and MaxTextSize I think (I do not remember).

is this what you wanted to do?

 

[Alhootti]

yes it is.

 

[Mike1970]

yes it is.

Ok well, with the version you have just set them in the Designer

However, i updated the class adding the two methods
MinTextSize and MaxTextSize

Private lblA As AutoTextSizeLabel
lblA.MaxTextSize = 20
lblA.MinTextSize = 5
lblA.Text = "Hello"

(P.S. If you call those methods AFTER you already set the text, you have to call also RefreshView)

The Updated class (Version 1.4) is attached

Thanks a lot
i will try it

I tested it

this is not i want it excatlly.

i want when i insert long text the label should extend horizontally only (increase in width only) to occupies the long text automatically dose not matter it extend out of the form.

but the more important thing is the font size still as before not change totally.

Ouh ok, so you want the opposite behaviour...
You want the text size to be FIXED and the label size to be dynamic based on the sentence length?... right?

 

[Alhootti]

yes exactly

 

[Mike1970]

yes exactly

Ok this is not the right view You need… it does the opposite ?

take a better look on the forum. Personally I never used it

Take a look at resizingtextcomponent. That might do what you need.

This is a better example, with a test project
