Description

Makes a piece of text that does not react to the user and sends no events. Long text is wrapped inside the box, and Chr$(13) breaks a line by hand. The style adds a frame:

Style	Frame
0	None
1	Black line
3	Sunken 3D frame

Add 65536 to keep it from following when its group is resized.

Differences

• Gadgets without a font of their own are drawn with Tahoma at 12 pixels, or a similar font of the system (the built-in bitmap font when there is none). Letters are not as wide as the ones of the Windows interface, so a gadget may need a little more or less room than on Windows.
