3. Exploring the Visual Basic Toolbox

Label Boxes

1. A label box is a control you use to display text that a user can't edit directly. We've seen, though, in previous examples, that the text of a label box can be changed at run-time in response to events.
   
   
2. Label Properties:
   
   

   Alignment	Aligns caption within border.
   Appearance	Selects 3-D or flat appearance.
   AutoSize	If True, the label is resized to fit the text specifed by the caption property. If False, the label will remain the size defined at design time and the text may be clipped.
   BorderStyle	Determines type of border.
   Caption	String to be displayed in box.
   Font	Sets font type, style, size.
   WordWrap	Works in conjunction with AutoSize property. If AutoSize = True, WordWrap = True, then the text will wrap and label will expand vertically to fit the Caption. If AutoSize = True, WordWrap = False, then the text will not wrap and the label expands horizontally to fit the Caption. If AutoSize = False, the text will not wrap regardless of WordWrap value.

   
   
3. Label Events:
   
   

   Click	Event triggered when user clicks on a label.
   DblClick	Event triggered when user double-clicks on a label.
