That's very clever. Keep the ideas coming! ;-)
I'm also toying with size adaptable buttons, which size themselves to
the text, so it doesn't wrap, and allow for resizing the main window
with the buttons without screwing up the text and for resizing the
column in a listview and make sure, text is never obscured.
I can't use automatic calculations for the button size, because I need
to be able to resize the button from the minimum size of the text width
and up.
I've come up with making an image of a layout with the text string and
then determining its width from image/size/x and it works well. But it
seems a little cumbersome, but is (not yet) performance critical for my
application.
Still, are there easier ways?
