DLabel cutting off text and adding ...

[depassasssin]

I am creating a DLabel and the text is fairly long.
The text is "* =Warning, If you do it again, you get kicked, do it 3 times, banned. The time will depend on situation."

Yet it appears on my menu as * =Warn...
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

here is the little snippet of lua from it.

Stream.RulesLabel1 = vgui.Create("DLabel", Stream.RulesPanel)
Stream.RulesLabel1:SizeToContents()
Stream.RulesLabel1:SetPos(5,123)
Stream.RulesLabel1:SetText( "* =Warning, If you do it again, you get kicked, do it 3 times, banned. The time will depend on situation." )

It is not because there more text the the panel (which there isn't). I have other ones on the same panel, and they all do it.
The more I added the shotter the text is. Now it is like this. "1) ..."

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch.

Could you possibly take a screen shot of it? That way it would be easier for me to help

[depassasssin]

OK sure
Also, Since I am a bit of a derma noob, I couldn't get my multi lines working. I tried lots of diff. stuff. Nothing worked.

I have about 15 different DLabel's on the same page.
Would that have something to do with it?

Just post the screen shot so I can see what you mean exactly -.- The post you made is a little confusing.

[depassasssin]

Haha, I tried taking Screenie w/ F5. It failed. Only shows sights and not menus.
And the \n quote someone gave me failed too.
and that search is no good *nofear1999*

No, Press Control + print screen then use control V in paint to paste it. Then you can crop it and post it on an image sharing website and post it here.

Just put SizeToContents after your SetText...

[lua]
Stream.RulesLabel1 = vgui.Create("DLabel", Stream.RulesPanel)
Stream.RulesLabel1:SetPos(5,123)
Stream.RulesLabel1:SetText( "* =Warning, If you do it again, you get kicked, do it 3 times, banned. The time will depend on situation." )
Stream.RulesLabel1:SizeToContents()
[/lua]

Add me on steam, it'll be easier to fix / communicate. Steam name is GUNH0G. And btw it isn't an O its a zero.

I loved how a reputable coder comes in and gives the quick fix, yet you continue to conversate with a random person who couldn't answer this simple question without his eyes physically seeing the problem...

[depassasssin]

Who would that be?

[Gbps]

I appoligize, Gunhog was the one who didn't know what he was talking about. My bad :buddy:

[depassasssin]

Haha

You don't think I can make a simple derma menu with text on it? :<
