[2005] AutoSize Property

[Troy Lundin]

I have a label whose AutoSize Property is set to true. It's size inside the IDE is {64, 13}. It's size at runtime is {64, 18}. I do not have any code that is changing is Size property or it's AutoSize property.

I am wondering why this is happening? Also, if anybody else has had this problem and knows how to fix it?

A similar inquery. Is there a way if I could check the height of the text in the label then change it's height based on that. I know there is a MeasureString function, but from what I have read it only gets the width of the text based on it's font.

Thanks, Troy

To answer your first question, if the AutoSize property is set to True, the label will expand to fit its text. If you want a fixed size then set its AutoSize property to False.

I know what AutoSize does. I am saying the label's height increases for no apparent reason.

How about this. Is there a way to align the middle's of two controls in code.
I am currently using

ctrl2.Top = Cint(ctrl1.height / 2) - (ctrl2.height / 2)

[.paul.]

Dim tSize As System.Drawing.SizeF = e.Graphics.MeasureString(label1.text, label1.font)

MsgBox(tSize.Height)

' that'll measure your label text height

try:

(ctrl1.height - ctrl2.height) / 2
