Hello everyone ,

I want to create a navigation bar using a horizontal gallery with buttons and labels, and I want to know how to make the label’s width change according to the text it contains in order to avoid empty spaces, as shown in the screenshot

Thank you

Hi @gikido,

I am not sure whether you want the Label or the Gallery Tempate size to be flexible here.

For the Label, there is no effective way of doing this precisely - you can set the Width to Len(Self.Text) * Integer (you will need to play with the Integer depending on the font type and size) - note that a W uses a lot more width than an I - but you should at least get a maximum width and get rid of some of the spacing.

If the Gallery, unfortunately, only Flexible Height Galleries are available (not Flexible Width) - so all will be the same size. You may be able to set it to the maximum width you get from the text label.
