as in title, I cant do it. I know it can be done with draw.drawtext using
manually but I want to make it auto.

#2

You cannot, you’ll have to use a string wrapping function like the one here: https://github.com/SuperiorServers/dash/blob/master/lua/dash/extensions/client/string.lua

thanks

#4

Try using a

DLabel with

Panel:SetWrap

#5

That still uses a string wrapping function internally, no reason to use it unless you’re already using a panel.

#6

I still have to know if that label is wrapped or not because that label will be child of a panel and I have to extend that panel if it is wrapped

#7

It says vgui in the title of this thread

DLabel:SetAutoStretchVertical or

Panel:SizeToContents might work
