Label word wrapping

Question

Is there a way to do a word wrap in a  NET label control   I know there is an alternate way of using a TextBox  make property BorderStyle to none  property ReadOnly to true and set property WordWrap and property Multiline to true   Is there something for a label

If you open the dropdown for the Text property in Visual Studio  you can use the enter key to split lines  This will obviously only work for static text unless you know the maximum dimensions of dynamic text

If you want some dynamic sizing in conjunction with a word-wrapping label you can do the following    Put the label inside a panel Handle the ClientSizeChanged event for the panel  making the label fill the space   private void Panel2 ClientSizeChanged object sender  EventArgs e        label1 MaximumSize   new Size  sender as Control  ClientSize Width - label1 Left  10000      Set Auto-Size for the label to true Set Dock for the label to Fill

You can use a TextBox and set multiline  to true and canEdit to false

Ironically  turning off AutoSize by setting it to false allowed me to get the label control dimensions to size it both vertically and horizontally which effectively allows word-wrapping to occur

Refer to Automatically Wrap Text in Label  It describes how to create your own growing label   Here is the full source taken from the above reference   using System  using System Text  using System Drawing  using System Windows Forms   public class GrowLabel   Label     private bool mGrowing    public GrowLabel         this AutoSize   false        private void resizeLabel         if  mGrowing  return      try         mGrowing   true        Size sz   new Size this Width  Int32 MaxValue         sz   TextRenderer MeasureText this Text  this Font  sz  TextFormatFlags WordBreak         this Height   sz Height            finally         mGrowing   false              protected override void OnTextChanged EventArgs e        base OnTextChanged e       resizeLabel          protected override void OnFontChanged EventArgs e        base OnFontChanged e       resizeLabel          protected override void OnSizeChanged EventArgs e        base OnSizeChanged e       resizeLabel

Change your maximum size    label1 MaximumSize   new Size 100  0     And set your autosize to true   label1 AutoSize   true    That s it

User · Answer

Just set Label AutoSize property to False  Then the text will be wrapped and you can re-size the control manually to show the text
