hmmmm.... I suspect you didn't specify a size for the Label AND the original text was shorter than the one you're changing it to.

when Win32::GUI creates a Label, it tries to fit the text specified in the -text parameter. but if you later change the text to something longer, the Label itself doesn't grow in dimension, so you may very well see only part of the text.

try giving a (big enough) size to the Label and see if it works (BTW, some sample code would help a lot :-).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
