Dynamically resizing a CLabel based on text input? [message #723171]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to SWT so I'd appreciate any guidance on my issue.

I have a Label who's text changes programmatically, so the size isn't fixed. I want to place an image using CLabel immediately to the right of the text, but I can't figure out how to programmatically resize the Label control so that the image moves according to the size of the text.

I also don't want to put the text and image in the same CLabel control because I may have to programmatically move the image next to another control.

I looked through the Layout class, but the examples I saw seemed to assume a fixed control size.

Any ideas?

TIA
