Hi there! I got a problem! :D

I am working on a program that does stuff, but when I tell a label to change text into something longer, the text goes outside the box, I tried checking the RightToLeft feature but that didnt do anything.

What do you mean by "VB"?

VB is a tag which equals Visual Basic

VBA? VB6? Some version of VB.NET? Have you tried making the label wider?

Adrian Ulland 26-Mar-14 13:05pm

VB 2013... And you can't resize a label without editing the text inside.

Next question: Label. Which one? Exact full type name, please. There are different types names as "Label". Which one?

:) Its simply called Label in Mircosoft Visual Studio Express 2013.

Brief description of its use... Show text on a form :D

MS version of its description:

Provides Run-time Information or descriptive text for a control.

Wrong. There is no such thing as "simple called Label". Full name of the type, please. (Such as "System.Windows.Controls.Label".) If you don't know it, you don't know what you are doing at all.

System.Windows.Forms.Label

Uhm.... yes you can have a label as wide as you want..... what on earth are you talking about?

Adrian Ulland 26-Mar-14 14:37pm

You can have a label as long as you want, but you cannot resize it, got me?

When you type something into the label, it will get a length that fits what you wrote, you cannot change that length without editing the text...

This:
- is not always true
- depends on the label, see SA's psots above

Thank you for clarifications in response to my questions.

If you use some right-to-left writing systems, I would strongly advise to use additional UI properties which are important to change the behavior and visualization of controls involved, such as: alignment direction, direction of navigation (by Tab), flow direction for flowing layouts, and the like:
