Hi All,

I have huge text to display on the label. But i have specified the hegiht to 200; so till this height i am able to see the text and rest is not visible. So there any way to resize the label automatically??

I have tried using "AutoSize = true" asual as "PreferredHeight" but i am getting "'System.Windows.Forms.Label' does not contain a definition for 'PreferredHeight'" please can you help me what i need to do to fix this issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Sharan

just setting the AutoSize will do the job

Label1.AutoSize = True

Hi Sharanforum,

Base on my test, the label will extend its height high enough to show all content. I still cannot understand why it does not work on your computer. Can you think about do it with a readonly multiline textbox? It can have the same effect as label and you don't need to put it into a Panel.

Hi Sharanforum,

Do you mean the Label control doesn't extend to enough height to show the whole text? Did you set the MaximumSize.Height for your Label control? Please set it to 0 so the height is unlimited. It can be extend to fit the contain height.

If you have any question, please feel free to tell me.
