[wxPython-users] text wrapping in wx.StaticText

[justin mcguire]

i had thought of the same, but the issue of measuring the text is that the
text is picked up dynamically from a database and there would be no way to
make sure that the text would fit before picking it up, i have multiple
users entering things and it would be nearly impossible to regulate what
they are entering.
