Setting Wrap text for a label in VB.Net

[venkata lakshmi prasanna]

Iam designing a form with labels and Textboxes. The TExt of the label is long. SO I have to set Wrap text for the labels. Please tell me how to set wrap text for a label in VB.NET

This probably isn't the best example, but it's the only thing I could think of:

Dim StartVar As Integer = 5
Dim EndVar As Integer = Label1.Text.Length
Dim Tempstring As String

While Not StartVar < 5
Tempstring = Label1.Text.Insert(StartVar, ControlChars.NewLine)
Label1.Text = Tempstring
StartVar += 5
If StartVar >= EndVar Then
Exit While
End If
End While

This example inserts a new line every 5 characters, and then stops if it runs out of characters. Just replace StartVar with the number of characters you want to have on each line of your label. Hope this helps!

You can turn the AutoSize property off, the set the size of the label yourself. With AutoSize turned off, the label control does automatic word wrap.
