Hi Steve,
I will try to look into the Model truncation issue over the next few
days - is the issue solely that Autolabels that follow a model are not
correctly truncating the text when they should?

As for the parent font issue, some discussion about this was made for
using the Parent font of the TIB_Edit (or whatever other control is
used) as the basis for the Font (only if the TIB_Edit control has it's
ParentFont property set to true). Ate the moment, the Font is simply
compared to Delphi's DefaultFont variable. Not sure if anything was done
about this in recent versions of 4.5.

As for the TIB_Datasource Control Generator, I'm afraid I'm not familiar
with its workings. Was the Autolabel side of things working with it in
earlier versions?
