Hi everybody

I want to autosize the width of a Text. Then I want to use this width to build a border around the text.
I can I do this?

background info:
I want to represent a package which looks like:

+------------+--------+
|package name|        |
+------------+        |
|                     |
|                     |
+---------------------+

the border (Rectangle) around the package name should always fit the width of the package name string.

Thanks in advance
Chris

You should have a look at GraphitiUi.getUiLayoutService().calculateTextSize(...). The method will return the pixel lenght of a given text, this can then be used to draw the inner rectangle in the correct size.

HTH,
