\membersection{wxStaticText::GetLabel}\label{wxstatictextgetlabel}
\constfunc{wxString}{GetLabel}{\void}
Returns the contents of the control.
+Note that the returned string contains both the mnemonics (\texttt{\&} characters),
+if any, and markup tags, if any.
+
+Use \helpref{wxStaticText::GetLabelText}{wxstatictextgetlabeltext} if only the
+label text is needed.
+

+\membersection{wxStaticText::GetLabelText}\label{wxstatictextgetlabeltext}
+
+\constfunc{wxString}{GetLabelText}{\void}
+
+\func{static wxString}{GetLabelText}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}
+
+The first form returns the control's label without the mnemonics characters (if any)
+and without the markup (if the control has \texttt{wxST\_MARKUP} style).
+
+The second (static) version returns the given \arg{label} string without the mnemonics
+characters (if any) and without the markup.
+
+
\membersection{wxStaticText::SetLabel}\label{wxstatictextsetlabel}
\func{virtual void}{SetLabel}{\param{const wxString\& }{ label}}
-Sets the static text label.
+Sets the static text label and updates the controls size to exactly fit the
+label unless the control has wxST\_NO\_AUTORESIZE flag.
+
+This function allows to set decorated static label text on platforms which
+support it (currently only GTK+ 2). For the other platforms, the markup is
+ignored.
+
+The supported tags are:
+
+\twocolwidtha{5cm}
+\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
+\twocolitem{<b>}{bold text}
+\twocolitem{<big>}{bigger text}
+\twocolitem{<i>}{italic text}
+\twocolitem{<s>}{strike-through text}
+\twocolitem{<sub>}{subscript text}
+\twocolitem{<sup>}{superscript text}
+\twocolitem{<small>}{smaller text}
+\twocolitem{<tt>}{monospaced text}
+\twocolitem{<u>}{underlined text}
+\twocolitem{<span>}{generic formatter tag; see \urlref{Pango Markup}{http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html} for more information.}
+\end{twocollist}
+
+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:
+
+\twocolwidtha{5cm}
+\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
+\twocolitem{\textbf{Special character}}{\textbf{Escape as}}
+\twocolitem{\texttt{&}}{\texttt{&} or as \texttt{&&}}
+\twocolitem{\texttt{'}}{\texttt{'}}
+\twocolitem{\texttt{"}}{\texttt{"}}
+\twocolitem{\texttt{<}}{\texttt{<}}
+\twocolitem{\texttt{>}}{\texttt{>}}
+\end{twocollist}
+
+The non-escaped ampersand \texttt{&} characters are interpreted as
+mnemonics; see \helpref{wxControl::SetLabel}{wxcontrolsetlabel}.
+
+
+Example:
+
+%% TEX NOTE: in the following block we need to write the (ugly) &&amp;
+%% string in order to force Tex2rtf to show the && string
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // this will set the wxStaticText to show the "Hello world!" string
+ // with the "Hello" world in bold on platforms which support markup
+ pStaticText->SetLabelWithMarkup(wxT("<b>Hello</b> world!"));
+
+ // this will make wxStaticText show the string:
+ //
+ // Specials: & ' " < >"
+ //
+ // with "Specials" in smaller size font if markup is supported
+ pStaticText->SetLabelWithMarkup(
+ wxT("<small>Specials</small>: &amp; &apos; &quot;; &lt; &gt;"));
+\end{verbatim}
\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{label}{The new label to set. It may contain newline characters.}
+\docparam{label}{The new label to set. It may contain newline characters and the markup tags described above.}
+
+
+
+\membersection{wxStaticText::Wrap}\label{wxstatictextwrap}
+
+\func{void}{Wrap}{\param{int }{width}}
+
+This functions wraps the controls label so that each of its lines becomes at
+most \arg{width} pixels wide if possible (the lines are broken at words
+boundaries so it might not be the case if words are too long). If \arg{width}
+is negative, no wrapping is done.
