@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.
+ wxStaticText supports the three classic text alignments, label
+ ellipsization i.e. replacing parts of the text with the ellipsis ("...") if
+ the label doesn't fit into the provided space and also formatting markup
+ with wxControl::SetLabelMarkup().
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxALIGN_LEFT}
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 the @c wxALIGN_RIGHT or
- the @c wxALIGN_CENTRE style because otherwise they won't make sense any
+ the @c wxALIGN_CENTRE style because otherwise they won't make sense any
longer after a call to SetLabel()).
@style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_START}
If the labeltext width exceeds the control width, replace the beginning
@style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_END}
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.

- This function allows to set decorated static label text on platforms which

-
- The supported tags are:

- <TR>
- <TD><b>Tag</b></TD>
- <TD><b>Description</b></TD>
- </TR>
- <TR>
- <TD><b></TD>

- (http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/unstable/PangoMarkupFormat.html)
- for more information.</TD>
- </TR>
- </TABLE>
-
- Note that the string must be well-formed (e.g. all tags must be correctly
- closed) otherwise it can be not shown correctly or at all.
- Also note that you need to escape the following special characters:
-
- <TABLE>
- <TR>
- <TD><b>Special character</b></TD>
- <TD><b>Escape as</b></TD>
- </TR>
- <TR>
- <TD>@c &</TD>

-
- The non-escaped ampersand @c & characters are interpreted as
