is there a way to auto-size width of component?
I have a spark FormItem containing a spark TextInput. Throughout the app this is made visible and invisible. When it is invisible, I want the width to be 0 so that it doesn't effect the layout other (visible) form items.
Is there a simple way upon turning it back to visible, that I can have it auto-size itself to the correct width, or must I hardcode the width? Just curious, as I have a lot of such FormItems, and an auto-size method would save a lot of development time, especially as things change. For example, if I set the width to be -1, will this trigger the component to auto-size itself?

One simplest way to achieve the same is that use a HGroup/Vgroup component and change the value of visible & includeLayout property to true & false according to your requirement.

Hi modjklist.
Maybe your solution is includeInLayout property.
Try to set visible = false and includeInLayout = false - It means that your
component will not affect in the position of other components.

Oh, maybe you were intending to ALSO set the includeInLayout at the same time as setting visible property. In that case, it should work. Good idea. Thanks!

Thanks Evyatar, but includeInLayout does not make the component invisible.

Instead of manipulating the width just use the includeInLayout property
(set to false when visible is false).
