How to increase the RadLabel height automatically

[Jeen Valgien]

Hi,

     We are using the RadLabel control in part of chat application. I used the RadLabel and keep the AutoSize property True. When I type more contents in that label, the label keep grow in horizontal and not able to view all the entered contents.
     I would like to know how to automatically increase the height of the radlabel baed on the content.

Thanks,

Jeen

Hi Jeen Valgien,

In order to increase the Height of RadLabel, but not its Width, you should set the appropriate MaximumSize value:

this.radLabel1.MaximumSize = new Size(50, 0);

If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact me.

All the best,

I don't like to resurrect old threads but this one is so specific to my question. The original question is still unanswered: I have a panel and in this panel, a RadLabel is docked at top. It's Auto size property is set to true (default). I dynamically set the label's text and even though wrap text is set to true, the label only grow in horizontal direction and doesn't wrap when it hits the docked right boundary. I want ot to grow height-wise once it can't proceed width-wise.

Hello Hassan,

In your case, for the RadPanel, set the following

RadLabel1.MaximumSize = New Size(Me.RadPanel1.Width, Me.RadPanel1.Height)

Hope that helps

Would love to get an answer to this. I am dealing with the same issue, and the above does not fix it.

Hello, Jarrad,

Setting the MaximumSize property is working on my side. The label text shrinks according to the size of the panel. Is there something different on your side?
