    sorry how do you mean by the "property flyout" on the right

  • Chimme

    I got the lable control to work now. The AutoSize property need to be set to false.

    Again, thanks!

  • SelArom

    Yes, that is what I need but the not way I like to approach it. I was looking for a way to edit the texts in design mode right on the Lable and not on the Property Window. If this option is not possible, I will have to use your method then.

    Thanks!

    I remember in VB6 how you could edit the text directly in the designer window. It was sometimes convenient, but more often then not I ended up double-clicking on the control and generating an event, instead of "slow double clicking". Editing the text in the properties window is the way it's done in .NET.

  • Buck_Danny

    well yes there is, just reset the Text property as I have done programmatically - is this not what you are after Sorry if I am not understanding correctly :-)

  • xplosiv_1

    yes its not available unfortunately :-)

    I've actually just tried to set a long piece of text on a Label control (with autosize = true) and it works, it does show the text in its full.

    I'm also using VS.NET pro 2005

    This is what I did for my test on a label:



    this.theLabel.Text = "this is just a small label to start out with and now..." + Environment.NewLine + "this sentence should be on a new line";

    does this not work for you



    I set the AutoSize to false and the multiline works. The problem is I do not want to always edit my texts from the Properties Window. I wonder if there is a way to edit the texts right on the Lable itself.

    I mean the Properties Window. Is there a way to edit my texts without going to the Properties Window and Text

  • RogerRV

    As ahmedilyas has suggested, for editing more text, you can use a TextBox with Multiline set to true. It will look like a label if you adjust the BorderStyle, BackgroundColor, and ReadOnly properties. The important part is that you use the Lines property of the TextBox, which opens up a full multiline editor.

  • tats

    Many thanks for the help. The TextBox control works...but just curious about the Lable control. By default the AutoResize is set to True but still, I do not see the multiline available. I'm using VS.NET professional 2005.

  • ComputerWhiz

    Okay, one other question relating to Lable. How do I edit the text right on the form instead of on the Property fly-out on the right

  • yeshman

    maybe you should set the autosize = true on the label if you have not already.

    you may also maybe wish to use a multiline textbox, setting it to readonly

    does this help



  • pgw1959

    I see. So MS decided to make developers edit their texts on the Properties Window then. Imagine you have a whole paragraph, it's tedious and hard to edit the texts on the Text property. I guess I will have to use the code behind to edit the texts then.

    Thanks!
