        This function is mostly useful with control displaying short amounts of

        wxSearchCtrl etc. Typically it is used to size these controls for the
        maximal amount of input they are supposed to contain, for example:
        @code
            // Create a control for post code entry.
            wxTextCtrl* postcode = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);

        Simple markup supported by this function can be used to apply different

        If markup is not supported by the control or platform, it is simply
        stripped and SetLabel() is used with the resulting string.

        would show the string using bold, red and big for the corresponding
        words under wxGTK but will simply show the string "Bed &amp; breakfast
        available HERE" on the other platforms. In any case, the "B" of "Bed"
        will be underlined to indicate that it can be used as a mnemonic for
        this control.

        The non-escaped ampersand @c &amp; characters are interpreted as
        mnemonics as with wxControl::SetLabel.


        @param markup
            String containing markup for the label. It may contain markup tags
            described above and newline characters but currently only wxGTK and
            wxOSX support multiline labels with markup, the generic
            implementation (also used in wxMSW) only handles single line markup
            labels. Notice that the string must be well-formed (e.g. all tags
            must be correctly closed) and won't be shown at all otherwise.
        @return
            @true if the new label was set (even if markup in it was ignored)
            or @false if we failed to parse the markup. In this case the label
            remains unchanged.


        Currently wxButton supports markup in all major ports (wxMSW, wxGTK and
        wxOSX/Cocoa) while wxStaticText supports it in wxGTK and wxOSX and its
        generic version (which can be used under MSW if markup support is
        required). Extending support to more controls is planned in the future.
