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.

Yeah, I though it was easy too. The problem that I'm having is that I set the container's height to be that of the label's wordwrapped height, but visually it does not resize from the container's Init. If I anchor the container's ends so that it stretches with the form and I put code in the resize of the container to set it's height to the label's height does it then show correctly. I need it to show this behavior on it init and not rely on resizing to correct it.

Don't know if i've explained myself clearly here :)
