Dynamic Label - GetWidth BUG

[hhhjamnez]

I did a test on the Dynamic Label component, I tried to set the width of the label I created. Then I try to take the width value from the label, but the result is 0.

two logical factos are there

Is this possible do you think?

You are trying to get width in the screen intialise itself, i dont think it is possible. You can get it after the creation by using clock or button click

And i believe, since you have created the DL in VA, (you have set VA width fill so you will get width of the screen , though you set width for each label i think it wont work. But it will work for Dynamic button

Set VA width to some amount and try, also do not try to get the width of the DY Label in screen inti itself.

Thank you for replying. I tried using the button to display the width value of the dynamic label and it worked. Thanks for telling.

However the displayed width value is not the same as the one I set earlier. CMIIW

I believe that you cannot set width of the dy.label directly as per your desired amount, pls refer here

Dynamic label question

You can’t directly set the percentage width/height of a dynamic label. However, you can set the width/height to this: A x Parent.width/height Where A is a number from 0 to 1 representing the percentage you want to set (1 for 100%, 0.4 for 40%, etc), and Parent.width/height is the width/height of the label’s container.

But it is possible with Dynamic component extension… Why dont you try that??

[F/OS] - Dynamic Components Extension (for every component) 2.2.2

Dynamic Components Extension that supports every component in your AI2 distribution, instead of having pre-defined components. I thought about making a full method to create all dynamic components without creating different blocks for every component because it would be useless. So I was trying to find a proper solution for a long time. And here it is! The minimum required API version for this extension is 1 . It basically uses Java’s Reflection feature, so this allows you to create…

Even if you set is as zero and VA to fill, it is showing width of my mobile

I just found out there is an extension like that.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try using that extension.
