Cant Get Width Height Of Content Size Fitter RectTransform

Questions & Answers
1

I have a GameObject with a UI text element and a content size fitter attached. It seems that once it is attached you can no longer retrieve the width/height of the recttransform of the object in script. Neither method I know works. They all return 0.

gameObject.GetComponent().rect.size
gameObject.GetComponent().rect.height
gameObject.GetComponent().sizeDelta

Does anybody know a way to still get these values?

The solution, it seems, it not to query the RectTransform, but instead the Text component.

gameObject.GetComponent<Text>().preferredHeight;
gameObject.GetComponent<Text>().preferredWidth;

Do you know by any chance how to acces the height of an object when it is not a text? I have a simple panel for my main menu (it’s height is also driven by a content size fitter) and i am struggeling to acces the height of it. This is driving me insane, why is it so hard to do such a simple thing?! please respond, when you have any tips for me!
