using GXT 2.1.1
i have a number of FormPanel instances, all with the default FormLayout layout. each form contains a number of TextField instances, with the host form automatically placing a label for each text field. the trouble is that in some cases, label text is quite small, placing a rather large space between a label and it respective text field. in other cases, label text is too large, forcing its contents to wrap. **what i would like to do is somehow autosize all the labels to the width of the widest label on that form.**

FormLayout does have a **setLabelWidth**(int pixel) function, but its argument must be in pixels. i was thinking of using TextField.getFieldLabel() to retrieve the label text, yet i do not know how to convert it to pixels.

thank you for your time!
