Hi all
I have a label which is has Autosize set to .T. but when I change the caption at runtime it does not resize properly - any ideas how I can force it to do so?
Many thanks
Paul Newton

Paul,
Set autosize = .f. then populate the label with appropriate text and then set autosize .T..
I subclassed the label and did this automatically on the assign method as it is a known problem with certain fonts/sizes and sometimes the field will autosize and just miss off the start/end of the label caption depending upon what fonts are used. If you use the assign to size the label then you can size the label exactly by using the sysmetric() settings for the font you are using.

What's your .WordWrap property value? Change it to the opposite of
whatever it is and try that.

That's interesting. Can you post an example (code snippet I mean) ?
I am not very familiarized with the assign method. Could never use it
properly. Perhaps an example will clarify this issue for me.
TIA

Rafael,
Not tested
Define Class baseLabel as Label
Procedure Caption_Assign
LParameters cValue
If This.AutoSize = .T.
This.AutoSize = .F.
This.Caption = cValue
This.AutoSize = .T.
Else
This.Caption = cValue
EndIf
EndProc
EndDefine
I would gather that would be the structure of the method he created.
HTH,
