DrawText() and DrawBoundText() for forms ...

[boa2145]

Good morning Mohammand,

could you, please, explain why you did not implement the methods DrawText() and DrawBoundText() for forms? I'd like to use theses both methods for forms , too.

In Small Basic there are not labels, but I can use these two methods to output text on GraphicsWindow. So, I appreciate these methods DrawText() and DrawBoundText() on GraphicsWindow, but I miss labels there. When I use a form with sVB, I appreciate labels, but I miss DrawText() and DrawBoundText(). The advantage of DrawText() and DrawBoundText() for forms could be that I don't have to handle with labels before to put out text on forms. For me it would be better to use both on forms: labels and DrawBoundText() resp. DrawText().

Have a nice day ... Gregor

@boa2145 I see no use of these tow functions on the form. Labels are perfect in displaying text, and you can add them on the form in runtime if you want by calling:

n=n+1
newLabel = Me.AddLabel("newlabel" + n,  left, top, width, height)
newLabel.FontSize= 16
newLabel.Text = "Hello"

Hello Mohammad,

In the meantime I've tried different ways to output text in a form. I also think, that a label is the best way for displaying text in a form.

I was able to fix my problems with LabelName.Text and WinDelay(). Now it works.
