I need the lable to have text like "cm^2" and "M_1". How do i do that? For now i used two labels "cm" an "2", first was size 10, second was 7 and i move the labels to look how i wanted. And put the second one to front and set the back color under web to transparent.

Some of the programs allow to use string like: M_{\rm 1} and you get the "1" subscripted to "M".

Solution 3

I have fixed this by diving this into 2 parts and subscripted part has smaller part and it's put next to first label in the right position.

Solution 1

The label control uses a single font, but you can include superscript characters that are available in that font. Check the Windows Character Map application to see whether the characters you require are available. For example, I was able to create a label with the text: Label².

I have try it/use it for numbers and a few characters, but i need for example write this "A_s,min,i" the "s,min,i" is subscripted.

I don't think you can do that without a font that has superscript versions of those characters, or by implementing an override of the default Paint method for a label.
