public class PVStaticText

extends PVEdit

Class PVStaticText is designed to display a text string.
The PVStaticText inherits all painting styles and corresponding methods from the PVEdit.
All aspects of painting can be customized through get/setProperty().

PVStaticText supports MouseListener interface.

Example to insert an instance of the PVStaticText class in an applet and set some properties:

public void init()
{
setSize(580, 400);
setLayout(null);
PVStaticText text = new PVStaticText("PVStatic");
add(text);
text.setBackColor(Color.gray); text.setFontStyle(4); text.setBorder(13); text.setShadow(1); text.setText3DColor(Color.yellow); text.setBounds(5, 10, 300, 35);
...
}

Notes:
Use the get/setBackColor() to get/set background color rather than the get/setBackground() methods.
When fontStyle is set to a LED.., then text is painted by the LED build in font rather then the selected Font object.
When font with aureole is enabled, then the text 3D effect is disabled.
