=================================
I just submitted an Enhancement Request to have Width and Height added to values of Dialog Label. See: http://www.mjtnet.com/usergroup/viewtopic.php?t=569.
Until that is done, here is a workaround that worked for me:
1. Open the Dialog Designer
2. Add a Label to the Dialog in the relative position that you need it.
3. Save the Dialog and go back to the Editor and paste the results from the Desinger.
4. In the Editor, enter the text that you want in the Label field. Use %CRLF% at the end of each line where you want to wrap. WARNING -- Do not use any commas in this text. Commas are a delimiter that are expected to be followed by Top and Left values.
5. Open that Dialog in the Designer again.
6. Add a Memo object to the bottom of the form (will be deleted later) and drag it to the size that you want.
7. You now have two ways to make a Label look like a Memo:
(NOTE: Some steps have not been listed re how to open Dialog Sesigner, save results, close Designer, and paste into Editor. Expect you can do that already).
A1. Select the Memo object and look at the top of the Dialog Designer where you will see Height and Width values, remember them.
A2. Select the Label, click on the Icon for Size, and enter the values for Width and Height that you saw with the Memo object field.
OR
B1. Select both the Label and the Memo object fields.
B2. Click on the icon for Size.
B3. Under Width select "Shrink to smallest"
B4. Under Height select "Grow to largest"
B5. Click on OK.
8. You can now delete the Memo object, it is no longer needed.
9. Note that the actual Height and Width of the Label are not correct as shown in the Caption bar of the Designer window. Do not try to adjust position of the Label yet.
10. Save the Designer values and return to the Editor, pasting the results from the Designer.
11. If you look at the end of the Label line, you will not see any values for Height and Width, but somehow they are retained.
12. Now you can Show>DialogName,Result and see your Read Only label that has the same dimensions as a Memo object.
13. You can make some adjustments to the positioning in the Editor by changing the values of Top and Left. But changes in the Designer will need to be done by changing the values of Height and Width in the Size tool by trial and error. In some circumstances, you may actaully be able to use resize tools to adjust the Label, but it is most frequently shown as a single line.
