A hint for labels is you have to add the label object to the form, set its caption property to what you want, then set its Visible property to .T. before you can get the correct Width of the label [assuming AutoSize is also .T.]. Setting the label to visible will be fine because your form is not yet visible. You might try this for all the other objects as well.

Is something like this what you are asking for?

> I have this situation: I need to add a variable quantity of objects in a form. As you can guess, the size of the object will vary depending on the quantity of objects that will be added. When I do some calculations to determine the size of every object, the result is too small and does not give me size that can fullfil my needs.
