A function to auto-size text gadgets using native PureBasic functions. The text gadget is either shrunk to the closest longest word or phrase in the caption, or is expanded to the longest word in the caption. Works with left, right and centre alignments. Tested and working on Windows and OSX, and should also work on Linux.

Includes a ready-to-use demo to test with customisable captions, and selectable fonts, sizes and text alignments:

There is a minor inaccuracy when the gadget is expanded - if the initial gadget size is smaller than any word in the caption, and has to expand, it sometimes adds an additional blank line. If anyone knows what's causing this, please update the code. No known issues otherwise.

Thank you.

Useful, thanks for sharing.

Nice, thank you!

Still would prefer some #PB_Text_AutoSize flag (http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =3&t=61139).
But helpful for the meantime

Thank you TI-994A for your nice example which you claim in the title to be cross-platform and for which you cautiously state:

TI-994A wrote:Tested and working on Windows and OSX, and should also work on Linux.

While I can confirm that it works fine on Windows XP, Windows 7 and MacOS X "Snow Leopard", it unfortunately doesn't work correctly on Linux...

That's in part due to an error in the Linux version of PB, where the line wrap currently only works in TextGadgets with left-aligned text but not with centered or right-aligned text. I have therefore already posted this bug report together with a workaround.

Another problem only occurring on Linux is the wrong vertical autosizing for font sizes of 30 or bigger. These are the values displayed in the ListIconGadget #results (the values emphasized in red are too big!):

initialised size: 300 x 1659
Font: Times New Roman @ 10 points
--> AutoSized to: 290 x 17

initialised size: 300 x 17
Font: Times New Roman @ 20 points
--> AutoSized to: 283 x 96

initialised size: 300 x 96
Font: Times New Roman @ 30 points
--> AutoSized to: 293 x 576

initialised size: 300 x 576
Font: Times New Roman @ 40 points
--> AutoSized to: 254 x 1134

initialised size: 300 x 1134
Font: Times New Roman @ 50 points
--> AutoSized to: 274 x 1659

initialised size: 300 x 1659
Font: Times New Roman @ 60 points
--> AutoSized to: 268 x 2256

The reason for this took me quite some time for debugging: PB seems to calculate the height of a gadget differently in Linux compared to Windows and MacOS when using flag #PB_Gadget_RequiredSize. In Linux PB calculates the required gadget height for all lines taking into account line wrapping. In MacOS and Windows only the required height for a single line is calculated!

I have therefore taken TI-994A's example and added CompilerIf blocks for Linux to compensate for the above mentioned bug and the different behaviour in calculating the required gadget height:
