MLabel

About component

MLabel controls are typically used to provide descriptive text for a control. For example, you can use a label to add additional text for a text-box control to inform the user about the type of data expected in the control.

What has changed?

In addition to all standard features was also added support for themes and multiple render modes.

How to use it?

Like other controls, MLabel can be simply droped from toolbox on the form. If you are not using IDE with integrated form designer (like Visual Studio), you can always create a label programmatically:

// Initialize label first
MLabel label = new MLabel();

// Set location
label.Location = new Point(50, 50);

// Add text (optional)
label.Text = "Label text";

// Don't forget to add our newly created
// check-box to form's control collection.
targetForm.Controls.Add(label);

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Minimal.Components;

namespace Demo
{
    public partial class MyForm : Form
    {
        // Initialize button first
        MLabel label = new MLabel();

        // Form constructor
        public MyForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Add size and location
            label.Location = new Point(50, 50);

            // Add text (optional)
            label.Text = "Label text";

            // Don't forget to add our newly created
            // button to form's control collection.
            Controls.Add(label);
        }
    }
}

Code example asumes, that targetForm variable is form where you want to have your color-box placed. If you are working inside a class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form, you can of course replace targetForm variable with this keyword or in latest version of C# omit form reference completely. See second example above.

Label types

You can switch between multiple render types using the Type property.

// Standard render type
label.Type = LabelType.Standard;

// Alternate render type
label.Type = LabelType.Alternate;

// Accent render type
label.Type = LabelType.Accent;
