Label Control - Width

[FinalVersion]

How can I set the $lblStablePath and $lblBetaPath to auto adjust the width, so the captions fits?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$frmMain = GUICreate("AutoIt Info", 333, 192, 192, 124)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Current Installation", 5, 5, 320, 180)
$Group2 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Stable", 15, 25, 305, 75)
$lbl1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Version:", 25, 50, 42, 17)
$lblStableVer = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Loading...", 70, 50, 166, 17)
$lbl2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Path:", 35, 75, 29, 17)
$lblStablePath = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Loading...", 70, 75, 51, 17)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$Group3 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Beta", 15, 100, 305, 75)
$lbl3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Version:", 25, 125, 42, 17)
$lblBetaVer = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Loading...", 70, 125, 51, 17)
$lbl4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Path:", 35, 150, 29, 17)
$lblBetaPath = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Loading...", 70, 150, 51, 17)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$regPath = "HKLM\Software\AutoIt v3\AutoIt"
$stableVersion  = RegRead($regPath, "Version")
$stablePath     = RegRead($regPath, "InstallDir")
$betaVersion    = RegRead($regPath, "betaVersion")
$betaPath       = RegRead($regPath, "betaInstallDir")

GUICtrlSetData($lblStableVer, $stableVersion)
GUICtrlSetData($lblStablePath, $stablePath)
GUICtrlSetData($lblBetaVer, $betaVersion)
GUICtrlSetData($lblBetaPath, $betaPath)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

FinalVersion,

I think this will help you:

[
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$spath = "C:\I am a very long path\Which needs to be\Shortened to fit\In the label.txt"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

GUICtrlCreateLabel($sPath, 10,  10, 300, 30, $DT_PATH_ELLIPSIS)
GUICtrlCreateLabel($sPath, 10,  50, 300, 30, $DT_END_ELLIPSIS)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Just set your label to the max width possible in your GUI and let Windows sort it out. Using GUICtrlRead on the label will return the full path.
