Is there a way to make a swt label to change the size of it self depending on the font, textsize and the length of the text connected to the label? I know that this is possible to a Swing Jlabel, but is this possible to a swt label?

If you are not using a layout in the Label's parent then use Control.pack()
to set its size to its preferred size based on its content.

If you are using a layout in the Label's parent then re-layout the parent
(Composite.layout()).

I tried this now, and it seems to resize depending on the content. Smile
But. Is it possible to get the size that the label is gonna get directly after that the size has been changed? I wrote a test application where I want the correct size to be written in the other label without being forced to push the button one more time which I have to do now.
Is this possible? I just want to know how big the label is gonna get when it is drawed on the screen.
I haven't tried to used a layout yet, can that make it easier to get the size?
Thanks in advance!

My mistake!
I seem to have written some errors in my code. I wrote the output to soon.
My code is now as follows and it works!:

            @Override
            public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event)
            {
                Font font = new Font(display, new FontData("Arial", new Integer(text2.getText()).intValue(), SWT.BOLD));
                
                label.setFont(fonten);

                label.pack();

                labelOutput.setText("size: " + label2.getSize() + "\r\nborderWidth: " + label2.getBorderWidth() + "\r\nbounds: " + label2.getBounds() + "");
            }

You can use Control.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT,SWT.DEFAULT) to get the
preferred size of a Control based on its content without actually changing
its bounds to this.
