What code do you use? I dunno if this comes down to the same side-effect or has anything to do with it. I just remembered Aldo talking about labels and multiline captions in this thread: > -Original Message- > From: Aldo Calpini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 03:42 > To: Renat Araslanow > Cc: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] bug_or_feature [1] Renat Araslanow wrote: > Subject: Can't see label with user defined font > Reason: '-escapement' tag in font definition" this is a (rather unpleasant) feature :-) the label is there, and the text is even rotated 90, but it falls outside of the label area. the reference point for the text is the upper left corner of the label, so when you rotate it, the text is above the label area. the following ASCII art should (hopefully) explain what's happening: T X E T +--++--+ |TEXT || | +--++--+ normal rotated I did some research and found that, in order to see at least some of the text inside the label, you need this: $W->AddLabel( -name=>"ok", -left=>0,-top=>100, -width=>500,-height=>500, -align => 'center', # center horizontally -addstyle => 0x200, # SS_CENTERIMAGE (center vertically) -font=>$font1, -text=>"ooo", ); the only drawback to this is that SS_CENTERIMAGE works only for a single-line text. if you try it with more than one line, it just doesn't wrap. another pretty ugly workaround to fit the text in the label area is to add some newline before the text (eg. -text => "\r\n\r\noo"). > when i write in C and use it - it working pretty good. you should've been writing something else, because in C it works exactly the same way as Win32::GUI. cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;

Try adding -wrap=>1 Jeremy At 08:36 24/09/01 +0200, you wrote: This is probably a simple one, but I can't find out how to wrap text, for example the "text" property for a Radiobutton.

[perl-win32-gui-users] Tutorials
I just decided to take Win32-GUI for a test drive and
tried the following sample. It abortrf on the
addlabel method. I'm running on Win2000 and I've got
the latest release of Win32-GUI I believe, release
0.0.558. If I comment that line out it runs fine.
Also, I also noticed that the tutorial page one is
missing.
use Win32::GUI;
$main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => 'Main',
-width => 100,
-height => 100,
);
$main->AddLabel(-text => "Hello, world");
$main->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
sub Main_Terminate {
-1;
}
Thanks in Advance

Labels and most controls seem to need a -name tag
The original code crashed on my system too... With this slight modification
it works fine for me.

[perl-win32-gui-users] Scrollbar Questions
I've actually got 2 different questions, both concerning scrollbars... First, on a Listview control (with gridlines and multiple columns), it works so that if the height of it is less than the height of the items in it, it automatically adds a vertical scroll bar...now how can i tell if there's *actually* a scrollbar on it? Second, how can i determine (using any win32 module, really) the default width in pixels of a scrollbar on each seperate user's computer? for instance, on mine, it's 16 pixels, but someone else's computer, it may be 5 pixels, or even like 32 pixels...how can i tell? so, if anyone can answer my questions, or even point me in the right direction, it'd help me out a LOT. -
