Flex :: Determine The Height Of A Spark Label That Becomes Multiline?
Dec 9, 2011I am trying to determine the height of a Spark label that becomes multiline at runtime (due to width property being set), to account for text overflow.
(For a spark label named Title) I have tried:
Title.measureText(Title.text).height - this seems to return only the height of one line. (Due to differing screen-sizes and font rendering, I don't know in advance how many lines the text would overflow to...)
Title.height - this seems to return the height of the label size (before being re-adjusted at runtime for multiline text flow)
Both properties above return an unchanging value even when different text lengths/multiple lines long are filled in .text
Is there really no way to determine the exact height of an overflow Spark label?
I am admittedly not that familiar with the Flex API but after scouring the manual for quite some time, I am still unable to place this title label with the proper spacing.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Size - Find The Width Of Text In A Spark Label?
Oct 11, 2011Suppose I have a (Spark) label. What is the best way to find the length of the text in it? I looked at the myLable.measureText("bla bla") method but it says: To measure text in Spark components, get the measurements of a spark.components.Label or spark.components.RichTextfter looking around I cannot find what this is refering to. I tried myLabel.measureWidth() but this does not return anything usefull (it frequently returns zero). Note: I am explicitly setting the width like this:<s:Lable width="{globalWidthVariable"} .../>If the text overflows I would like to increse the globalWidthVariable to the size of the text.
View 1 RepliesFlex :: Get Label Height After Setting Text Property?
Jun 17, 2011I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset. The labels must have a fixed width and some text goes multiline. I want to arrange the label vertically so I need to know the height of the label so I can place the next label properly, but when I try to read this property, after the labels is added through the addElement mehtod, it returns 0.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Shrink The Default Spark DataGrid Row Height And Keep The Text Vertically In View?
Dec 11, 2011In the Spark DataGrid the default row height is about 22 px. I would like to set the default row height to 18 pixels and I can do this easily enough with the rowHeight property but what happens is when the rowHeight is set to anything less than 22 px the bottom area of the text in each row is cut off. It seems that the default grid itemrenderer or grid label has a min height set to it. Since I have multiple columns and want to have shorter rows but not have the bottom of the text cut off in each row how would I do this?

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Width Of Spark Label?
Aug 5, 2011I need to set the text of a spark label and then position such label along the x axis depending on its width. Unfortunately, it seems that the width of the label does not update right away and thus the positioning will fail. I can listen to updateComplete events on the label and update its position then, but that means repositioning the label a lot more often than I would like (updateComplete fires off a lot more often than upon changing width). how to properly handle what would appear to be a trivial task?
Here's a code snippet that shows what I described above. If you press the button you will see 3 traces: the label width before changing its text, right after setting its text, and when the label is done updating itself. Would love to know if there's a way to get the correct width without having to listen to updateComplete events... The button and the VGroups are just there to run the example

Flex :: Set Spark List Max Height More Than Its Default Value 10000?
Jul 5, 2011I want my list control has its content height as I don't want scroll bars. For the scrolling purpose I have my own scroller in parent container.
Now, The problem is when list control exceeds the maxHeight 10000, then it will start clipping remaining data. I think the solution is increase the maxheight.
how I can set maxheight more than 10000.
For Example..
</s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%">
</s:VGroup>
<s:List id="myList" dataProvider="arrData" useVirtualLayout="false" />
</s:VGroup>
</s:Scroller>
In this case assume that I have arrData.length = 9999999, and for that mylist's height will become 10000+ (Lets assume 15000). now mylist will clipped after 10000px height or list's vertical scrollbar will visible and as I adready have scroller of my own It will have two scrollbars at that particular time.

Flex :: Resizing A Spark Group By Setting Width And Height?

However, changing these values have no effect on the size of the container at all.
