Well, I haven't found a way to get a statictext lengthened properly, but I have found another way to crash the debug application (and the standalone, for that matter)

New Project
On the window, put an EditField and a PushButton
In PushButton1.Action, insert this code:

  Dim g As New Graphics

  EditField1.DrawInto g, 0, 0

  EditField1.Width = g.Width

Run it, type in some text, press the button, and poof!!! Your debug application crashes. This works for RB 2005r4 for OSX compiling for all platforms.

You can't instantiate Graphics; you must retrieve it from the .Graphics property of a Picture.

Furthermore, I have absolutely no clue why you would think that Graphics.Width would change after drawing into it. What you want is this:

dim p as new picture(1, 1, 32)
dim g as graphics = p.graphics

g.TextFont = MyStaticText.TextFont // And so on with size, etc.

MyStaticText.Width = g.StringWidth(MyStaticText.Text)
