Static Text
Static Text elements have no behavioral repertoire. They just sit there. Nevertheless, they can play an important role in your application by calling attention to important widgets, and by contributing to an overall corporate image, where appropriate.
To create and configure a Static Text element, follow these steps:
- Click on the Text tool icon in the Objects Palette:
![]()
- Move your mouse cursor to a bare spot in your workspace, and click to place the new Text object.
- Select the object and choose Tools
Property Sheet. The dialog box opens:
![]()
- Type in the text string the object will display.
- Choose a special typestyle and colors, if appropriate. See the "Choosing Colors" and "Choosing a Typestyle" sections in "Frequently Used Dialogs," for more information.
- Add translation information, if necessary. See the "String Attributes" section in "Frequently Used Dialogs."
- Choose OK to dismiss the property sheet. Select the object and drag its handles to position and size it appropriately.
