I am wondering how to accurately get the width of an object prior to it getting rendered?
I have an object that I am 'building' that is a composite of a few controls (TextArea, Button, Label) and a few containers. Part of the object is a qx.ui.basic.Label that I need to know how wide it is to calculate some things. When I use this line, prior to rendering I get 69 as the width:
this.theCaption.getSizeHint()['width']
But if I issue that same call after it gets rendered, the width is reported as 62. So all of my calculations are off by 7. I am not changing the font of the label after creating it so that can't be the issue. Is there a better way to get the width of the label?
Thanks,
Jim
