UI Automatic Size

Automatic Size Property: Now Available

What is Automatic Size? Automatic Size is a property that can be applied to any UI object. It is used to automatically size parent UI objects based on the size of its descendants. By applying this property, you can dynamically add text and other content to a UI object at edit or run time, and the size will adjust to fit that content. Automatic Size is particularly useful for UI that’s driven by dynamic content. Documentation For additional details on how to use AutomaticSize with your UI, pleas…

Use a combination of AutomaticSize, checking the width of the containing Frame, and possibly TextLabel.TextFits (roblox.com) to see if the Text has overflown and is being wrapped.

However, after correctly using AutomaticSize you should just be able to access accurate Width and Height for the TextLabel as AutomaticSize will resize the containing UI to fit the Text.

I’m not sure how AutomaticSize will handle wrapping and any embeds additionally to all this though and you may be forced to do it programmatically anyways.
