Use label or edit text for long texts?

You should use a ScrollView with a Label. You can find the required height with StringUtils.MeasureMultilineTextHeight.

Hi Erel

I'm using a scrollview and it scrolls along nicely but even with the stringutils you mentioned the text ends exactly as it shows it ends when it was pasted into the label's multiline text.
I have:
ScrollView1.Panel.AddView(Label1,5,5,450,500)
Label1.Height = StringUtils.MeasureMultilineTextHeight(Label1, Label1.Text)

The problem appears to be in the multiline text for label1 in the designer, it chops the text short after so many lines. How do I get the entire text into the label's text in the first place?
It's got me baffled.

You can save the text in a file, add it to the Files tab and then assign it to the label with File.ReadString.

Ahh ok, I'll try that. I just went and looked at the multiline text and where it stops I can't type any more into it, it does seem to be a limit in the designer.
Reading it in should be perfect anyhow. Thank you.
