I noticed that the length of the label is set when the form is built in relation to the length of the text on the label itself.

It set a new text in the hws with the set instruction the length is not updated, at lest the form layout remain the same.

Then in case I set like that in reality it set the length to zero and the label is not visible

changing it later with the new text is still invisible because the length remains set to zero.

Trick is to set a fake label in the the xml file with an appropriate length like

That's defined behaviour. RapaGUI will never do a re-layout when setting attributes. You can force a re-layout by calling Group.InitChange, then remove the label widget using Group.Remove, set the new text, and then add the widget again using Group.Insert, then call Group.ExitChange.
