In CrossUI, how to force return of dimensions in spite of "auto"

The CrossUI RAD ui-builder has recently undergone major restructuring. The UI widgets now default at "em" dimensions, and more of the widgets (buttons, primarily, I think) have default widths and heights set to "auto" unless you force dimensions on them. My question is, how can I get the dimensions of a specific ui control if it is set to "auto"? If I use this code:

h=profile.boxing().getHeight();

It returns "auto", but I'd like to get the height dimension, either in em or px - doesn't matter which.

Solution

  • Well it looks as though you can do

    profile.getRoot().height();

    and it seems to work to return subpixel pixel dimensions, with a float; I can round it.
