Formatting paragraphs in Labels

[kumaraswamy]

Hi
It would be of great help to me if someone can help me with this issue:

I want to read from a text file and display it in a label. However, when I do that, I see that there is no word wrapping. In the sense, a whole paragraph is displayed in one line and the next one in the next line and so on. Can some one please tell me how to read text from a file and make it display as it is (lines as they are)? I am using the following code right now:

Imports Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word

Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = "C:\Baba\check1"
Dim WordApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
WordApp.Visible = False
Dim WordDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
TextBox1.Multiline = True
WordApp.Visible = False
WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(strFileName)
WordApp.Visible = False
Label1.AutoSize = True
'Label1.Wordwrap = True
Label1.Text = WordDoc.Content.Text
'MessageBox.Show(WordDoc.Content.Text)



End Sub

Thanks
Kumar

You need to set AutoSize to False. If it's True then the Label will resize automatically to display the text as it is and if the paragraph has no hard line breaks then the Label will widen to display the text on one line. With AutoSize set to False the width will remain constant and the text will wrap to fit that width.
