Please see the two long linklabels below (please ignore the black lines above)
Linklabels’ length is made dynamically during runtime, and as seen, could be that it’s too long and overlapping other text we have (there is another text where you see ‘Differences’).

enter image description here

My questions are:

a) Can I limit the maximum length of a linklabel?

b) Is that possible to use a scrollbar with a linklabel (or any similar control) in case that it’s too long? e.g. setting it to 200 pixels, and in case it’s longer, the user has to scroll the horizontal scroller and see end of the text.

I’m using VB.NET on Visual Studio 2008

    “a) Can I limit the maximum length of a linklabel?”

    The label and the link is stored separately so you could use SubString to limit the length of your label to a specific amount of characters.

    b) Is that possible to use a scrollbar with a linklabel (or any similar control) in case that it’s too long? e.g. setting it to 200 pixels, and in case it’s longer, the user has to scroll the horizontal scroller and see end of the text.

    You could create a user control, set Autoscroll to true, put a linklabel inside the user control. Making sure that there is enough space below the label for a scrollbar, in case it becomes visible as your link label starts hanging out of the containing user control.

    Hope this helps,
