|@ALIGN_LEFT@|Align the text to the left|
|@ALIGN_RIGHT@|Align the text to the right|
|@ALIGN_CENTRE@|Center the text (horizontally)|
|@ST_NO_AUTORESIZE@|By default, the control willadjust its size to exactly fit to the size of the text when "set_label":#StaticText_setlabel is called. If this style flag isgiven, the control will not change its size (this style is especially usefulwith controls which also have ALIGN_RIGHT or CENTER style because otherwisethey won't make sense any longer after a call to SetLabel)|

h3(#StaticText_wrpa). StaticText#wrap

  *wrap*(%(arg-type)Integer% width)
