wx.StaticText

Inheritance diagram for wx.StaticText:



Description

A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.

Window Styles

Window Style Description
wx.ALIGN_LEFT Align the text to the left
wx.ALIGN_RIGHT Align the text to the right
wx.ALIGN_CENTRE Center the text (horizontally)
wx.ST_NO_AUTORESIZE By default, the control will adjust its size to exactly fit to the size of the text when SetLabel is called. If this style flag is given, the control will not change its size (this style is especially useful with controls which also have wx.ALIGN_RIGHT or wx.ALIGN_CENTER style because otherwise they won’t make sense any longer after a call to SetLabel)
