How to make a label expand vertically?

Anvil Q&A

Hi,

When I setup a label text to follow a text box text (as you can see below), it doesn’t expand vertically/starts a new line. Any idea how to make it start a new line?

If you know where to break the string you could use a newline character (i.e., \n).

Or, I suppose you could not use a label, but use a same sized text area but set enabled to False. Just thinking out loud here…

It does if there are space when the next word doesn’t fit and if there are '\n' inside the string.

Thank you, using the text area worked!

Putting ‘\n’ in side the string would work, but I need the label to expand to the second line by itself without the need to write ‘\n’ everytime.
Thank you though

Is there any way you can remove the dots border around the text area when it is disabled?

Never mind, I figured it out.
