    Its rectangle widht and height is 20px wider and taller more than Text.

    I need to be like this link  automaticaly when I edit the Text, and rectangle's width and height still 20px wider and taller than Text.

    @Polygon, sorry for late reply and thanks for the link, but it's not what I need. What I need is the rectangle automatically resize when text in it changed/edited.

    This is just my thought.... Is there a way we can use XML editor to resize the rectangle automatically by giving formula to calculate? Something like this link
