I want to put a label on my window after the user
opens up a file to edit.
It's a long string of text, it's the full path to the
file.
The label displays, but if it's too long it just runs
until it gets cut off
by the right border of the main window.
I've been searching docs and email archives and can't
seem to find the solution.
I don't know if it matters, but I add the label from
the sub that handles the opening
of the file.
Two things.
First, I would suggest you build the entire window at once (including the
Label for the path), then you can modify the contents as you go along. Do
that like this:
$main->current_file_label()->Text("Currently editing file: $OPENED_FILE . ")
Second, I think your problem is that you assign the label a location, but
not a size. So although you have correctly set the option -wrap => 1, maybe
the label itself runs off the edge of the window. Set the label -width and
-height options as well.
