It would have been nice if it was, though!

Hi all, Is it possible to have a label where the background fill follows the text? Say multiple lines of text in the label, each a different length and the background fill steps to follow text length. Not just a rectangle of fill to cover the whole label. Make sense?
It doesn't follow the text exactly but instead fills the entire lable frame.
Not exactly what you are after but as close as you will get I think.

Why was this thread moved? It was a GDL question for the GDL section.
It is possible in GDL if you request the length of each line of text and add a fill that is the same size.
It would be nice if RICHTEXT had the option for displaying the fill but from what I can see in the manual it doesn't.

From your original post it was not really possible to decide that you are actually asking a GDL question. You very talking about a problem, but did not mention GDL or script or anything.
So I moved it to another thread.
But it seems to me that another Moderator has handled the situation and moved it back here, now that it is clear that it is indeed a GDL question.

Which Globals (in an individual label) are for the On/Off of the opaque background fill and for the color of this fill?
We already asked GS on June 2007, remember Frank Beister's "Quo vadis GDL".
I feel only GS can answer this one.
Zsolt, please, is there something new?

I think what would be best is to have the ability to get the value of any setting you set in the Settings Dialog or the Info Box in the form of GDL Global Variables.
