Label UI Control

User Interface Controls > Common Properties > Layout > Types > Label

A label control is used to place non-editable text on the rollout, perhaps a label for another item or a text message.

The syntax is:

label <name> [<string>] [style_sunkenedge:<bool>] [toolTip:<string>]

The default alignment of label items is #center .

When supplied and set to true , the style_sunkenedge: optional keyword parameter available in 3ds Max 2009 and higher lets the label draw a half-sunken border around the control.

The toolTip: parameter provides text for a tooltip for the label; no tooltip if unsupplied. Available in in 3ds Max 2017 and higher.

EXAMPLES:

rollout test "Test Label"
(
  label lab1 "Sorry For The Inconveniences!"
  label lab2 "DoN't PaNiC!"style_sunkenedge:true width:150 height:16
)
createDialog test
rollout my_rollout "My Rollout"
(
label my_label "ABCDEFGHIJ"
)
createdialog my_rollout

my_rollout.my_label.text += "\nXXX"
my_rollout.my_label.height *=2 -- start to see the "XXX" line
my_rollout.height *=2 -- expand dialog so can see the "XXX" line
my_rollout.my_label.width -= 20 -- crops end of text display
