I'm just trying to find out how wide I have to make the button in order to see all the tabs. Unlike other button styles, a tabbed button shows all lines of its contents, but the formattedWidth property only returns the width of one line of the contents. I'd like to get the width of all the contents as they're displayed horizontally.

Thanks for your concern.  Let me know if you've got any ideas.

Hi Ray,

The formattedwidth of a tabbed button is determined by its name or, if it has one, its label. If you change the name or the label, the formattedWidth will change as well.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Best,

Mark

I get the same number returned regardless as to what the contents or the name of the button is. What I'd like to get is the formatted width of the entire contents since that's what is displayed for a button set to Tabbed appearance.
Thanks,
Ray

Why can't you just use the formattedWidth?
