@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}
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 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
of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
@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.

- 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:

- <TR>
- <TD>@b Special character</TD>
- <TD>@b Escape as</TD>

- <TR>
- <TD>@c &</TD>

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