@class wxStaticText
A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.
+ wxStaticText supports the three classic text alignments, label ellipsization
+ and formatting markup.
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxALIGN_LEFT}
- Align the text to the left
+ Align the text to the left.
@style{wxALIGN_RIGHT}
- Align the text to the right
+ Align the text to the right.
@style{wxALIGN_CENTRE}
- Center the text (horizontally)
+ Center the text (horizontally).
@style{wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE}
By default, the control will adjust its size to exactly fit to the
size of the text when SetLabel 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)
+ after a call to SetLabel).
@style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_START}
- If the text width exceeds the control width, replace the beginning
- of the text with an ellipsis
+ If the labeltext width exceeds the control width, replace the beginning
+ of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
@style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE}
- Same as above, but replace the text in the middle of the control
- with an ellipsis
+ If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the middle
+ of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
@style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_END}
- Same as above, but replace the end of the text with an ellipsis
+ If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the end
+ of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
@style{wxST_MARKUP}
- Support markup in the label; see SetLabel for more information
+ Support markup in the label; see SetLabel() for more information.
