No, 'fraid not. Which is often a problem - it turns out, in my limited experience, that a lot of languages seem to be "longer" or "less compact" than English, so I've struggled with this a bit. The "solutions" seem to be either to make your buttons a bit bigger than you think you need (or make the font smaller), or to dynamically create the button at runtime, once you have measured it's label string. The first method is simple but clunky, but works if you need to keep the button layout constant. The second method I've used when there were only one or two buttons, and their exact layout position wasn't so important. Neither is ideal... -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
