Fit control to text [message #5803]

I would like to create a function like this

int res=RadioDialog
("Select an option | Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3")

Which should show a dialog with radio options (Option 1, 2 etc ) and return user choice in res variable.

The problem for me is to get the size of the options text and therefore set the size of the dialog windows.

In other words: how can I fit a button (or any other widget with text inside) to its caption text.

Thanks in advance.

No direct support now.

I think you have following options:

- get the dimensions from the additional parameter and/or application environment - this is what I have done in past in similiar scenarios

- get the text width and add some reasonable constant for the option image and image-text gap (32 would work fine I think).

- create your own widget (not as hard as it sounds)

- suggest and discuss U++ improvement Wink
