How to make label / textnode fixed size

[David Whatley]

How do I configure a label or textnode such that the text doesn''t change it''s size. I want the text to clip to the bounds I''ve defined (otherwise there''s no way to layout things exactly as I want). I''d like for the label to do the "..." thing automatically if it doesn''t fit (a built in feature of many text-related controls in .NET).

Everything I try just causes the label or textnode to resize itself when the text doesn''t fit. :(

Hi David,

My sincere apologizes for the delay in getting back to you.If you want to retain the Symbol Label''s size,then you can set a fixed value to the Symbol label within the Diagram.Property changed event.Please refer the following code snippet

private void diagram1_PropertyChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.PropertyEventArgs evtArgs)
{
if(evtArgs.Node is Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Label && evtArgs.PropertyName == "Text")
{
//Set the fixed size to the SymbolLabel
label.Size=new SizeF(float width,float height);
}
}


Please refer the attached sample that demonstrate this completely and let me know if you have any questions. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank you,
Meera.

I dunno... I''m generating lots of labels dynamically at run-time and they have different sizes. This doesn''t have a way of knowing what the size was before it changed. Doesn''t seem like a good solution... but also not sure how to get it to work in the situation I have (which is more real-world).

Any ideas?
