Howevever, if I uncomment the width/height lines, it works fine. How can I have the width/height calculated based on the text there? If I specify sizes like the above, my labels appear in the wrong place (because I'm positioning them at the Y co-ord of a line, minus the height, so they appear above it). There doesn't seem to be any sort of "autoSize" property, or a recalculateSize() method (invalidSize doesn't work). Any ideas? ________________________________________ The information contained in this e-mail and/or any attachments is confidential and intended only for the individual(s) to which it is addressed.
