Resizing a display to fit text

[fn_Quiksilver 1636]

Hi lads,

 

Are there established methods of resizing a "frame" to fit text?

[Mr H. 402]

fnc_Resize_ctrl_totext = {
params ["_displayIDC","_ctrlIDC"];
_control =((findDisplay _displayIDC) displayCtrl _ctrlIDC);
_myControlPos = ctrlPosition _control;
_ctrlh = ctrlTextHeight _control;
_xpos = _myControlPos select 0;
_ypos = _myControlPos select 1;
_width = _myControlPos select 2;
_control ctrlSetPosition [_xpos,_ypos  ,_width ,_ctrlh];
_control ctrlCommit 0;
};

call it with the idd of yourdisplay & the idc of the controm you want to resize (after putting the text)
eg.
[123456,1600] call fnc_resize_ctrl_totext

There is also:

Either something like what @Mr H. said or you could just add frame to the text style in the first place?

Yeah, useful. I only ever really used for text inside RscControlsGroup hehe.
