I have a vi which loads strings from a text file into a ring control. i would like to make it resize itself so that it doesn't clip off any of the text in each item. Is there any way of doing this?
You could get the size of the string using "Get Text Rect.vi" and use the size of your longest string to set the width of your ring. I made a quick example to give you an idea of what I mean.
Brian's VI gave me a good starting point, but here's a far more complete utility that takes into account the font of the ring, any styling done to add extra parts, etc. It also is a VIM so you can retain the strict typing of the value field when you use the output.
