Stop Labels Wrapping Text

[Buddy]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to stop labels from wrapping text. If
the text is to long for the label then I want it to hide
the text just like out the TextBox control works.

Thanks,

Hi Buddy,

The actual size of the font is not fixed, so it is hard to determine
the length of the string.
I think the best way to work around is using textbox instead of label
control.
You can follow the steps bellow to let the textbox display almost like a
label control:
1.set its wordwrap property to false
2.set its BorderStyle property to None.
3.set its ReadOnly property to true
4.set its Cursor property to Default or Arrow

Hope this helps
