Thread Resizing a label

Not critical, but if you have a label which is word-wrapped and auto-sized, you
cannot manually size its width in the IDE.

To see what I mean, create a label, turn off auto-size, enter the text
"This is a long line of text and it will show the word wrap issue". Set the width
to be 100, and turn on word-wrap. Now enable auto-size again, and it will have
increased the height to fit the text.

Now, grab the right sizer, and you will find that the label will not grow, but will
only shrink. You cannot expand it to make it fit the text in one line.

The workaround is of course just to disable auto-size until you are happy with the
width.

Matthew,

I've fixed this so that it only updates the auto-size when modifying the
AutoSize, Caption, or WordWrap properties, which will allow to resize the
label in the IDE in such situations.
