Text_Width() Changing

I am basing the size of a button based off its text width plus 15. However, the button keeps changing size. Can anyone explain to me why this isn't working. Here's a code sample.
Code: Select all
TEXT$ = text$(1)
buttonsize = TEXT_WIDTH(TEXT$) + 15
BUTTON 0 TEXT TEXT$ AT 25, 25 SIZE buttonsize, 25
by the way, the text is not changing. The same is text is being used for every iteration but the button has different sizes every itteration

This is the legit code I am using:
Code: Select all
' Label Settings
FILL COLOR w(1,1), w(1,2), w(1,3)
DRAW COLOR 0,0,0
SET BUTTONS FONT NAME labelfont$
SET BUTTONS FONT SIZE 14
label$(categ, 1) = categ$(categ, 1)
label$(categ, 2) = label$(categ, 1) & 2
TEXT$ = label$(categ, 1)
labelsizex = TEXT_WIDTH(TEXT$) + 16
labelsizey = headerheight * 0.495
labely = (graphdiv(startline) + graphdiv(maxline(categ))) / 2
' Label 1
labelx = (margin/2) - (labelsizex/2)
BUTTON label$(categ, 1) TEXT TEXT$ AT labelx, labely SIZE labelsizex, labelsizey
' Label 2
labelx = ((maxx + (maxx - margin)) / 2) - (labelsizex/2)
BUTTON label$(categ, 2) TEXT TEXT$ AT labelx, labely SIZE labelsizex, labelsizey

Notice how the "Temp" label changes? But it always is the same thing.

Nevermind! I forgot text_width is based off draw font size and name. Not button font size and name. Just had to add:
Code: Select all
DRAW FONT SIZE 14
DRAW FONT NAME labelfont$
Everything works now!
