AutoFit Button.Text FontSize

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to AutoFit the text inside SfButton control given a certain Width and Height? I believe this behavior should be supported.

As an example, see Forms9Patch https://baskren.github.io/Forms9Patch/guides/Buttons.html, whose text can be set to AutoFit.

Cheers,

Miguel

Hi Miguel, Greetings from Syncfusion. We would like to let you know that by default SfButton has AutoSizeFit support, as per the changes of text update, it adjusts its size. For your reference, XAML: Sample link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/159964/ze/AUTOSI~1725537003.zip Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Suyamburaja J.,What you attached works until you restrict the width of StackLayout.XAML: What I am looking for is, given certain Width and Height, adjust the FontSize of the Text so it fits the size of the SfButton.

Hi Miguel,  
  
We have validated your case with having the specified width to SFButton hold parent layout and updated the text dynamically it will not autofit to its size. SfButton has implemented based of framework control like Grid as parent and added the Label to display the Text of SfButton. Hence, we have also ensured this with Label and itself working fine. Hence, we need a some more time to validate this further and provide any sample level or possible fix on or before November 27, 2020.  
  
Note: We ensured it by updating the text dynamically. Whether your requirement is similar that of provided link in your first update to make the AutoFit based on the bounds and Width. Please share this also.

Hi,The use of  ```TextView.SetAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration(...) ``` for Android TextView and ``` Control.AdjustFontSizeToFitWidth ``` for iOS UILabel would make this work.I tried to create my own renderer out of SfButtonRenderer but I am not sure how to access from there to it's TextView or UILabel.

Hi Miguel, 
 
We need some more time to validate this, since we have some technical block. Hence, we will update the complete details on or before November 30,2020. 
 
Limitation:  We failed to get the native control on custom renderer since control implementation from Syncfusion Border, all other customization happens through drawing.

Hi Miguel,  
   
Thanks for your patience. We tried to achieve through the workaround solution, but unable to achieve through the sample level. Hence, we have validated this for finding the feasibility of this feature with SfButton and we will update the complete status on tomorrow (December 1, 2020).
