You are correct. My situation, however, is that I have a label in a container. The label's height does indeed get automatically determined, but I cannot get the container's height to adjust accordingly.

In my Init of the container, I set the label's AutoSize to .T., WordWrap to .T. and Caption. Immediately after this, I set the container's height to the label's height, but it does not adjust (grow taller with the label). If I put code in the container's Resize to set its height to the label's height then things look fine. If I put code in the container's Init to call the container's Resize event, nothing happens and the label appears chopped off.

Do you have any idea how I can have the container adjust its height to the label's height.
