Dave et al I found the answer! Leave AutoSize=.T. Then this works:
lblLabel.Visible = .F. lblLabel.Caption = "My new label caption" lblLabel.Visible = .T.

Dave - I tried that directly, rather than in the assign method, and it still did not work ...

I subclassed the label and did this automatically on the assign method as it is a known problem with certain fonts/sizes and sometimes the field will autosize and just miss off the start/end of the label caption depending upon what fonts are used. If you use the assign to size the label then you can size the label exactly by using the sysmetric() settings for the font you are using. -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: 03 March 2015 16:38 To: profox@leafe.com Subject: Autosize and labels Hi all I have a label which is has Autosize set to .T. but when I change the caption at runtime it does not resize properly - any ideas how I can force it to do so?
