Ok, maybe I am overlooking something really obvious here, but I have tried just about everything I can think of to prevent the items in a list control from scrolling (i.e., when the label is too long for the width of the control and the text scrolls right to left) and nothing seems to work. Is this not possible? Or am I missing something?

Try setting <scrollspeed> to 0.

Ok, just tried that in the list control and the label control (within focusedlayout) but it is still scrolling -- is there somewhere else I need to set it?

It should work if you set <scrolltime>0</scrolltime> for the list container, not the label. That should stop the labels from moving.

oh wait, are you asking why the label's scroll if they are too big for the label width? If it's like the wraplist container - i think you are out of luck. The <scroll>false</scroll> and <wrapmultiline> do not work inside the container i think. Neither does the textbox conrtol.

Sorry, <scrollspeed> should be inside the label control inside the layout that you're playing with.

Cheers,

That works a charm, thanks! *Very* minor point, but I don't suppose there is any way to get a "..." at the end of the text where the label cuts off instead of cutting off the letters?

Not currently, no. May I ask exactly what you're trying to achieve?

A fade out option would be nice too. This certainly will look better than just truncating the text.

Since we're talking labels...is it possible to specify the width of a button label ?
Can't seem find it in the docs, it looks like the default width is infinite and can't be controlled ?

Most of my button labels are localized, but in some languages the label text may exceed the button width....which looks kinda ugly.
