issue with flow layout panel / link labels

i am setting text to a link label and adding these labels to a flow layout panel. It seems to be chopping off the ends of the link labels and as such i have labels wi开发者_运维百科th only 3/4's of the text. Does anyone know why this might be?

Thanks

I'm not sure if you are adding the LinkLabels to the FlowLayoutPanel through code, but there is a property you can set to make them work properly.

    var link = new LinkLabel();
    link.Text = "Some really long string";
    link.AutoSize = true;   //This is really important!

    FlowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(link);

If you don't set each LinkLabels AutoSize property, they just chop off any text that goes further than their default bounds.

Edit: My Testapp consists of placing a FlowLayoutPanel on the form, and a button to click, with the above code in the OnClick handler. Nothing else was changed on the form.

Without the AutoSize property set to true, I had the same problem you described. Setting it to True fixes it for me at least :)

I have tested this by dropping a FlowLayoutPanel on a blank form and dropping in many LinkLabels. The width of the FlowLayoutPanel is narrow and I have tried adding Text properties to the link labels to break the layout.

Even putting text with no spaces in the link label doesn't cause the issue you describe - the text simply wraps around onto the next line.

Do you have any properties set on the link labels? This is the only way I could get this issue to occur.

I changed the size of one of the link labels to a fixed size smaller than the text and this pretty much did exactly what you report. I would suggest that the Width property of your link label is smaller than the text you are displaying.

Can you check the LinkArea property of the link label .. the default is about 25. I think you will have to set it to the maximum value you are using to display as text for the link label.
