Hi
Is there a way to get the size of a rendered GUI element (e.g. FormField or Form) during runtime? I would like to know the effective width and heigth in pixels.
Kind regards,
Adrian

May I ask you the reason to be interested in this information? In
general the component model does not have to care about UI sizes of any
UI implementation.

In general it doesn't matter, but if you have an Image or SVG Field, it could be of interest. If you know the width and length of the field, or at least the ratio of width to length,
the application could optimize the image/svg content for the size chosen by the user.
I don't mean just simple scaling/fitting of the image, which could be done by SVG alone, but the application could optimize the layout or placement of graphic objects for a given field knowing the width/length ratio.
