Label Optimal Fill
« on: August 11, 2020, 05:31:23 pm »
Hello,

I dont seem to make a label to resize its text fonts (to an optimal size) whenever the label changes it's dimensions. Check the blue box with the number please. I am sure it has to be something easy that I missed somewhere.

I thought that setting OptimalFill := True would just do the trick.


??

It is working here (Laz trunk/FC 3.2.0, Win 10): OptimalFill := true and AutoSize := false do the trick.

What are your Lazarus/FPC versions? OS? There was a fix related to Optimalfill in May 2017, about Laz 1.6.x time. If you have a Lazarus of that period you should definitely upgrade.

I have found (thorugh trial and error) that after resizing the label (for example if it's anchored on the four sides and the form is maximized) the "OptimalFill" isn't recalculated unless you set again the label's caption. It seems it doesn't happen always but enough times that I now automatically add SomeLabel.Caption := 'whatever'; whenever that might happen.

Thanks,

I use CodeTyphon 7.00/7.10 and FPC 3.3.1 and also Lazarus 2.0.18 with FPC 3.0.4

The label is anchored at every side. Thanks to your suggestions, I solved the situation forcing to update the label whenever is resized. It's a little wierd but it actually makes it work:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TFrame_posHDSqt.Panel14Resize(Sender: TObject);
  2. var
  3.   value : string;
  4. begin
  5.   value := Label_totalImport.Caption;
  6.   Label_totalImport.Caption := ' ';
  7.   Label_totalImport.Caption:= value;
  8. end;
  9.
