14 @class wxStaticText
15
16 A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.
17 wxStaticText supports the three classic text alignments, label
18 ellipsization i.e. replacing parts of the text with the ellipsis ("...") if
19 the label doesn't fit into the provided space and also formatting markup
20 with wxControl::SetLabelMarkup().
21
22 @beginStyleTable
23 @style{wxALIGN_LEFT}
24 Align the text to the left.
25 @style{wxALIGN_RIGHT}
26 Align the text to the right.
27 @style{wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL}
28 Center the text (horizontally).
29 @style{wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE}
30 By default, the control will adjust its size to exactly fit to the
31 size of the text when SetLabel() is called. If this style flag is
32 given, the control will not change its size (this style is
33 especially useful with controls which also have the @c wxALIGN_RIGHT or
34 the @c wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL style because otherwise they won't make sense any
35 longer after a call to SetLabel()).
36 @style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_START}
37 If the labeltext width exceeds the control width, replace the beginning
38 of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
39 @style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE}
40 If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the middle
41 of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
42 @style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_END}
43 If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the end
44 of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
