Width of a label to view the caption on 1 line

[Frederik Gekiere]

Does anybody know how you can find out what width a label must have to view the caption of the label on 1 single line.

The caption is filled in in runtime, and I need to know to which value I must set the width property.

I can't set it to a high value, because I want to place another control immediately next to it.

Try to set label's Autosize property to True and forget about calculating it's width

[Frederik Gekiere]

That is a solution, but then there's still another problem:

I want to place another control immediately next to it. How do I know it's Left property ?

make your other control's left value = TheLabel.left + TheLabel.Width
