Text(Label/Box/Button):GetTextScaledApproximateSize()

[XAXA]

TextObject.TextBounds is not a reliable tool for getting text bounds because you have to wait a frame.

Didn’t I tell you that you don’t have to wait a frame anymore?

Text(Button/Box/Label).TextBounds to be set upon parent

With the release of quantum gui, the TextBounds property updates immediately (well, as soon as you read it, if I’m not misunderstanding ). Running this in studio: local sg = Instance.new("ScreenGui") sg.Parent = game:GetService("CoreGui") local label = Instance.new("TextLabel", sg) label.Text = "Test" print(label.TextBounds) label.Text = "Test Test" print(label.TextBounds) wait(1) print(label.TextBounds) prints: 22, 12 47, 12 (x2)

Here’s the same script in the reply that I linked, but with TextScaled = true and the size of the frame is changed instead of the text.

local sg = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
sg.Parent = game:GetService("CoreGui")
local label = Instance.new("TextLabel", sg)
label.Text = "Test"
label.Size = UDim2.new(0, 100, 0, 100)
label.TextScaled = true
print(label.TextBounds)
label.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 200)
print(label.TextBounds)
wait(1)
print(label.TextBounds)

This will print:

99, 59
165, 100 (x2)

Again, you don’t need to wait a frame anymore for the values of properties to update.
