Hello friends,
It appears that somewhere between VFP6 and VFP8 the base class Label control has developed a "safety" feature which places a minimum height below which you can't set the height. Example: For Arial 8 pt. the minimum label height seems to be 16 pixels, whereas the actual font height height (as reported by the .TextHeight method) is 14 pixels, which should allow for a squeeze of at least 2 fewer pixels of spacing.
Is there any way to overcome this default minimum? I recently had a requirement to squeeze 4 lines together really tightly and I found I couldn't do it. Back in VFP6 this was no problem.
TIA

Sometimes I need to squeeze
