How do I compute the size (amount of screen real-estate) that a given
chunk of text will be, in a given font?
The reason I ask is that I am trying to change the text of a label, and
using the Text or Change methods do not resize the control; the control
stays at its original size and truncates any new text. (This behavior is
very annoying!).
Here is an example:
my $main = Win32::GUI::Window->new (-name => 'Main', -width => 300,
-height => 150);
my $label = $main->AddLabel (-text => 'foo');
$label->Text('Much longer now');
$main->Show;
Win32::GUI::Dialog;
What displays is "Mu", because that's all that can fit in the space
where "foo" was.
Is there a way to make a Label auto-resize?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
