@class wxStaticText
A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.
+ 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}
- Align the text to the left
+ Align the text to the left.
@style{wxALIGN_RIGHT}
- Align the text to the right
- @style{wxALIGN_CENTRE}
- Center the text (horizontally)
+ Align the text to the right.
+ @style{wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL}
+ 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
+ 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)
+ especially useful with controls which also have the @c wxALIGN_RIGHT or
+ the @c wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL style because otherwise they won't make sense any
+ longer 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
- @style{wxST_MARKUP}
- Support markup in the label; see SetLabel for more information
+ If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the end
+ of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.

- <TD>bold text</TD>
- </TR>
- <TR>
- <TD><big></TD>
- <TD>bigger text</TD>

-
- 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</TD>
- <TD>@b Escape as</TD>
- </TR>
- <TR>
- <TD>@c &</TD>

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