Good point Mike. However, after it has completed the layout, is it possible to determine the height of the content? If so, i could probably work with that information.
But, I would still think it was possible to provide a method with a fixed width, have it perform a layout, and return the height - that is essentially what the stackoverflow solution does, just in a rather convoluted way.
