UT2003 :: GUI >> GUIComponent >> GUILabel

This class is a text label. You use it to display labels or multiple lines of text. It's probably more complex than you are expecting - but at least it's easy to use.

Properties

Menu

localized string Caption

The text to display.

eTextAlign TextAlign

How the text is aligned in its bounding box (the bounding box attributes are inherited from GUIComponent).

color TextColor

The color of the text when it doesn't have focus (labels don't normally get focus).

color FocusedTextColor

The color of the text when the label does have focus (unusual).

EMenuRenderStyle TextStyle

The canvas style to use to display the label.

string TextFont

The font the text for the label should be displayed in. The string refers to a class derived from GUIFont. Doesn't work – the fonts specified in the style selected by the inherited StyleName property are used.

bool bTransparent

Set this to false if your label should have a background drawn for it (default is true).

bool bMultiLine

If this is true the text will be cut so that it is displayed on multiple lines within its bounding box. If the text is too big for the bounding box it gets truncated

color BackColor

This is the background color for the label. This is only relevant if bTransparent = false.
