dotnet windows forms: Hi,

in one of my Windows Forms I've got a label displaying URLs. When the URL
displayed becomes too long, the letters' kerning changes, i.e. the letter
spacing gets bigger.

Did I set some property wrong? Or what makes the letter spacing change?

TIA,
Axel Dahmen

Set the control's 'FlatStyle' property to 'System'. After doing that, GDI
will be used instead of GDI+ to render the text. The problem you describe
is typical for GDI+.

Thanks Herfried!

I've changed the "FlatStyle" property as you said, but now the url is
wrapped completely if it is too long. With the "Default" setting I enjoyed
the advantage of having the url displayed as far as possible.

Do you know if this problem will persist in future versions of GDI+? Is it a
bug or is it a feature?

Or is it possible to get the more advanced word wrapping behaviour having
the "FlatStyle" property set to "System"?

TIA,
Best wishes,
Axel Dahmen
