Title: How to unify label's text size when the text is dynamic?
Post by: Nubeh on August 20, 2014, 03:00:39 AM

I have 3 labels with a fixed width and height where I change the text (always one word only) dynamically. Because I don't know the length of the word beforehand I set the label to ShrinkContent. The problem now is that when a word in label 1 is short and the one in label 2 is long then the dimensions of the font for the two labels is different.
Is there a way to set the smallest font size among all 3 labels so that the text inside them looks all the same size?

Thanks

You can set the font size on the label itself. Change it to your desired font size. There is no "min" value with shrink to fit.

the problem with using a fixed font size is that I don't know anything about the length of the text coming from the server (also because I have translations so a short word in English can become a long word in Italian, German or French). In my GUI I want to allow only for a maximum width of the text so that it doesn't overlap with other gui elements. That's why I wanted to let the text shrink and then use the minimum font among the labels.
