Eric,

>I figure out that I could calculate the needed right position of the labels if I only knew how long is the current content and how long would be the new content in pixel. Is there a way to predict this according to the string, the size and the font ?

IMO you don't need the width of the caption if you set the alignment of the label to 1 - Right (Be sure that autosize is set off because it screws up your alignment after all)

In case you might want to calculate it after all you the following strategy:

WITH Label
.Width=TXTWIDTH(.Caption,.fontname,.fontsize)*FONTMETRIC(6,.fontname,.fontsize)
ENDWITH
