Look at the following code snippet:

import QtQuick 2.0
import Ubuntu.Components 0.1
MainView { width: 160 height: 160 Button { id: my_button Text { id: my_text anchors {centerIn: parent } text: my_button.width + " x " + my_button.height } Component.onCompleted: console.log(my_text.width) }
}

The default text property of a button is just a string and will inherit the style applied on the Button component.

To get access to the string length in pixel, use instead a dedicated Text element inside your button so that you can access its pixel width like this: my_text.width.

Running the above code with qmlscene logs 41.953125 on the standard output for the string "80 x 40"
