The Text control can be used to display static text on a dialog.

Text

Text:

The localizable text to show in the Text control.

Options

Transparent

If checked, the background shows through control. If unchecked, the background is opaque.

No prefix

If checked, the '&' character in the text is shown as itself. If unchecked, the '&' character in the text causes the next character to show underscored.

No wrap

If checked, all text is shown on a single line. If the text extends beyond the control's area, it is clipped and an ellipsis ("...") is inserted. If unchecked the text in the control wraps.

Format size

If checked, the control attempts to format the text as a number representing a count of bytes. For proper formatting, the control's text must be set to a string representing a number expressed in units of 512 bytes. The value will then be formatted in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB), and shown with the appropriate string representing the units. If unchecked, it is formatted as text.

RTL reading order

If checked, the text in the control will be shown in right-to-left reading order. If unchecked, it will be shown in left-to-right reading order.

Right aligned

If checked, the text in the control will be aligned to the right. If unchecked, it will be aligned to the left.

User language

If checked fonts are created in the user's default UI code page. If unchecked, fonts are created in the database code page.
