\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALIGN\_LEFT}}{Align the text to the left}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALIGN\_RIGHT}}{Align the text to the right}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALIGN\_CENTRE}}{Center the text (horisontally)}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxST\_NO\_AUTORESIZE}}{By default, the control will
adjust its size to exactly fit to the size of the text when 
\helpref{SetLabel}{wxstatictextsetlabel} is called. If this style flag is
given, the control will not change its size (this style is especially useful
with controls which also have wxALIGN\_RIGHT or CENTER style because otherwise
they won't make sense any longer after a call to SetLabel)}
