Autosize a string indicator to its content

[Pjotr]

I can't see a way to programmatically size a string indicator and/or the window size to match its contents, such that it mimics the behaviour of the 'message' indicator of the One Button Dialog box. Anybody out there to help or to hint?

Perhaps, you can try the Get Text Rect function in the picture functions palette.

hope this can help you.

You can look at the "Three Button Dialog.vi" to get some inspiration - it's located here:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\Utility\error.llb\Three Button Dialog.vi
