Does Gt designer have the function of a variable size box depending on the length of the text?

In other words, the width of the box adjusts perfectly and automatically according to the length of the text.

I've already made it. Thank you very much.


Two more questions:

Two blocks of text that you want to go in the same line. One right after the other.

Then the function to make the text size smaller if all the text does not fit in the rectangle.


Thanks in advance

Assume you mean they position of second has to adjust its position according the length of the first ?

Not with GT title but can be done with Legacy XAML titles

If you hover over this button one gets the message : "Configure Automatic Text Box Resizing"

The second question I have already found.

It is "Shrink" but it is not to my liking. It should combine auto scaling box up to a limit and then go to reduce font size. A combination of "Width" and "Shrink".

Yes, This



The reason is to be able to make two different fonts in the same sentence.

Yeah, like you do know entering text manually or linked to a data source is the same not ?
Just because the example doesn't have the rectangular background ( which one can set to a color instead of transparent )does not mean this is NOT what you are looking for and fact is it can not be done with GT title

Add that the first question was only half resolved.

Yes, the size of the box can be variable depending on the text but only one text is selected at a time. If there are two lines in a box you have to choose one of the two.

But you can't choose both at the same time. It should be that the box should expand in size with the longest sentence regardless of whether it is one or the other.
