Yes label border width and color both can be changed .

For border width change in below line under Sub Create_label

scrl.Panel.AddView(Pnl1,10%x,Pnltp,85%x,-2) '-------- current width is 85%

Label color can be changed under Sub Create_label

Clrs(0) = Colors.RGB(226,255,201)
Clrs(1) = Colors.RGB(226,255,201)

1. Is it possible to make the width autoadjust if there´s a word which is less than the fixed width of 85 %? If I write "Ok", for instance, it´d be good that the label is more narrow.
2. Can selected messages be right adjusted so that in a conversation, the other partys messages will appear to the right?


Thanks in advance!

you can try putting -2 for auto adjusting width instead of 85% ..

Thanks atulindore! Maybe a silly question, but what exactly does it mean when you put a negative value there? -100 would be different than -2, right?

 

[atulindore]

This is for auto adjusting the length / height itself ..

 

[ykucuk]

-2 doesn't work for me. still too much width for "ok"

Any help?

 

[KMatle]

-2 means "autosize" but it's better to use:

su.MeasureMultilineTextHeight(MyLabel,MyLabel.Text)

- just put the text to a label (edittext will do, too)
- measure the needed height
- change the view's height
