wxstatictext

a static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.

derived from

wxcontrol
wxwindow
wxevthandler
wxobject

window styles

wxalign_left	align the text to the left
wxalign_right	align the text to the right
wxalign_centre	center the text (horizontally)
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 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)

returns the contents of the control.

wxstatictext::setlabel

virtual void setlabel(const wxstring& label)

sets the static text label and updates the controls size to exactly fit the label unless the control has wxst_no_autoresize flag.

parameters

wxstatictext::wrap

void wrap(int width)

this functions wraps the controls label so that each of its lines becomes at most 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 width is negative, no wrapping is done.

this function is new since wxwidgets version 2.6.2
