The width of a widget refers to its outside width, including 
decorations. The interior width is a different thing, sometimes called 
ClientWidth; but I don't know if Gambas TextBoxes have a ClientWidth 
property. The size of the decorations should be always the same (in a 
given theme). I don't know how to calculate it but, supposed that this 
is possible and this is "8", something like
   
    txtSomeThing.Width = 8 + txtSomeThing.TextWidth(txtSomeThing.Text)

could work, but I am not sure.
