Is there any way to do it? I want to load text from a website of various lengths and have the window resize if nessacerry to accomodate it...

A quick search found me this thread=78300

But is there any way to determine the size of the text box contents (and easily)? Else when I change the size it won't be accurate. I think I might be able to resize the StaticControl to fit the contents and then find the height and add about 50 for the titlebar and bottom bar... Any idea how to do it?

I found this on MSDN: How To Calculate a Bounding Rectangle For a of String Text. However, I guess it'll be very hard to re-create that piece of code in a MP!L script...

You're right... I think it might be easier if I work out the maximum characters per line, work out the number of lines and the height of each line and then resize the window to that lol

Yeh, that would be the easiest way. However, you might want to look what is the widest character, because if I would type 5 underscores _____ it's lots wider than 5 dots .....

Good luck!
