Width of dynamic created Label in runtime on C#

Question

I create Label in runtime: Label myLabel = new Label {Text = "somText"};. After that myLabel.Width equals default value 104. How I can know real width of myLabel?

Answer 1

Did you try myLabel.ActualWidth ?

Answer 2

The real width is 104. Labels have a property called AutoSize. The width will expand or contract depending on the text you set. You can set the AutoSize property to false and set your own width though.

Answer 3

SizeF size = myLabel.CreateGraphics().MeasureString(myLabel.Text, myLabel.Font);

Answer 4

Surely the width is the width? Remeber to disbale Autosize if you want to fix the width at a certain value.
