Question

I have a label that shows the file name .. I had to set AutoSize of the label to False for designing.
So when the file name text got longer than label size.. it got cut like in the picture.

label1.Size = new Size(200, 32);
label1.AutoSize = false;

How do I re-size the text automatically to fit the label size, when the text is longer than the label size?

Answer 1

You can use my code snippet below. System needs some loops to calculate the label’s font based on text size.

while(label1.Width < System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText(label1.Text, 
     new Font(label1.Font.FontFamily, label1.Font.Size, label1.Font.Style)).Width)
{
    label1.Font = new Font(label1.Font.FontFamily, label1.Font.Size - 0.5f, label1.Font.Style);
}
