A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.
-TODO: should a static text have a validator? E.g. if you wanted
-to use it to initialise the control with some text taken from
-the validator.

+adjust its size to exactly fit to the size of the text when
+\helpref{SetLabel}{wxstatictextsetlabel} is called. If this style flag is

+with controls which also have wxALIGN\_RIGHT or CENTER style because otherwise

\membersection{wxStaticText::GetLabel}\label{wxstatictextgetlabel}
\constfunc{wxString}{GetLabel}{\void}
Returns the contents of the control.
+
\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.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{label}{The new label to set. It may contain newline characters.}
+\membersection{wxStaticText::Wrap}\label{wxstatictextwrpa}
+
+\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.
