You can set the width of the Label or TextBox with the length of the string.
eg: (strlen "ABCD") -> 4
I need to work with this function OnInitialize.
Hi, velasquez,
why don't you simply use the dcl_control_setpos method within OnInitialize?
(defun c:myproj_myform_OnInitialize()
(dcl_control_setcaption myproj_myform_mylabel strData)
(dcl_Control_SetPos myproj_myform_mylabel
(dcl_control_getleft myproj_myform_mylabel)
(dcl_control_gettop myproj_myform_mylabel)
(* (strlen strData) intFontSize)
(dcl_control_getheight myproj_myform_mylabel))
); c:myproj_myform_OnInitialize
Regards, Fred

Thanks Fred,
I used this method in OnInitialize but it did not work.
You can post a picture showing this?

Hi velasquez,
I've attached a sample for you.
Please have a look at the line where nSize is defined: the FontSize value may be negative depending on the fontscaling setting. Furthermore I used the width-to-height-ratio of 0.8. It may differ from other fonts. Please note that textlength of not-conditional fonts like Arial cannot simply computed by the number of characters.
Please have a look at the line where the new width is assigned: the 4 pixels are set for the border of the control.
Regards, Fred
