[Gambas-user] Can gambas figure out dimensions for objects?

[Jaap Cramer]

Jou can use a textlabel with the .adjust command
It resizes the textlabel to a height where its content fits. I wrote
function to calculate the desired height for textarea's by putting its
contents and font-size in a textlabel; save the height and make it the
height of the aera.

I hope it helps...
