Setting a combobox fieldLabel width to include long labels?

[rtrocc]

I want to have a long label stay on the same line rather than breaking off after each word or two. Basically I'm trying to widen the width allowance on the combo box label. Not sure why I can't adjust it like I do with other form field labels ...

Embed that combo box in a fieldset and set your custom labelwidth there.

Sorry about that, I figured out that I have to explicitly set a class on 'x-form-item-label' to a larger width...

actually... this worked for me:

{
     xtype: 'combo',
     labelStyle: 'width:220px',
     fieldLabel: 'Super Long Label That Cuts Off'
}

I was having the same issue and could not figure it out! But after going through forum after forum I realized there is a setLabelStyle.

so the fix:

comboBox.setLabelStyle("width:75px"); or whatever width is appropriate for you Label to be in one line
comboBox.setFieldLabel("Set your label here");

I tried this

 xtype: 'numberfield',               
                        fieldLabelTip: 'Saksnummer',
                        anchor: '100%',
                        labelStyle: 'width:30px',
                        fieldLabel: 'Super Long Label That Cuts Off' 

But got this ScreenHunter_01 Jun. 30 11.03.gif

This isn't the desired effect. How do I reduce the gap between the fieldlabel and the textfield?

When I set the width to 5px the gap is still the same.

When I set the width to 500px I get this:

I also find that setting the "width" style causes a gap of a compensating size to open up between the label and the field. I have a small label, and would like to reclaim that empty space for the field. Help!

I'm having this same problem, were you able to figure it out?
