Part I: Getting Started

After you set AutoSize to False , you can resize the label object in the Source window by clicking the

white sizing boxes that appear on the ends and corners of the label object. In Figure 1 - 12 , I have increased

the width of the label by clicking the middle sizing box on the right edge of the label object and dragging

the edge to the right until I got the desired size. I then released the left mouse button to end up with the

label object shown in Figure 1 - 12 .

Figure 1 - 12

After you have set the size of the label object, you can change the text property of the label object to

whatever you want to appear in the label. In your example, you want the text “ My first program. ”

At the present time, the text property of the label object is

label1 . . . not what you want. Scroll the

contents of the Property window down to the

Text property for the label object and change it to

My first program and press the Enter key. Changing the Text property for the label object is shown

in Figure 1 - 13 . Notice how the first line below the Property window ’ s title bar shows the name of the

object currently in focus in the Source window (

label1 in Figure 1 - 13 ).
