Make a StringItem fit the screen width

Question

Hi,
I�m using a String Item in a Form and I�ve tried to make the Item fit the screen width by using the setPreferredSize(). But if the Text of the String Item is to long, the device still uses a second line to display the end of the text, which I don�t want.
This is how I tried to make my String Item be displayed on an unique line.
iTitleString = new StringItem("title : ","",Item.PLAIN);
int preferedWidth = this.getWidth();
iTitleString.setPreferredSize(preferedWidth,-1);
iTitleString.setText("blablablablablalblablalblalbla");
Thanks for your help

If you mean that it should fit to the screen width by making the font smaller, then you're out of luck. You can try setting a preferred height to avoid multiple lines, but in a best case scenario it would just mean that not all of the text will be displayed.
