[Gambas-user] TextBox does not wrap the text

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Ok, after trying around for some while I found that TextLabel reacts to 
a change in Height or Width.

I wanted to adapt its measures to the text within and to the space left 
from the position it was to appear until the right border of the window. 
What I intended was a little yellow help window with a help text which 
should pop up at the writing position.

When I fix it at the top of the window and let it be visible all the 
time, never changing its size, it does wrap the text. But when I use its 
Font.Height and Font.Width properties to compute the number of potential 
lines and then change its measures appropriately, the text will not be 
wrapped anymore.

Strange, but I have found a workaround at least - just leaving it as it 
is and leaving it visible.

Regards
Rolf
