    @class wxStaticText

    A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.
    wxStaticText supports the three classic text alignments, label ellipsization
    and formatting markup.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxALIGN_LEFT}
           Align the text to the left.
    @style{wxALIGN_RIGHT}
           Align the text to the right.
    @style{wxALIGN_CENTRE}
           Center the text (horizontally).
    @style{wxST_NO_AUTORESIZE}
           By default, the control will adjust its size to exactly fit to the
           size of the text when SetLabel() is called. If this style flag is
           given, the control will not change its size (this style is
           especially useful with controls which also have the @c wxALIGN_RIGHT or
           the @c wxALIGN_CENTRE style because otherwise they won't make sense any 
           longer after a call to SetLabel()).
    @style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_START}
           If the labeltext width exceeds the control width, replace the beginning
           of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
    @style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE}
           If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the middle
           of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
    @style{wxST_ELLIPSIZE_END}
           If the label text width exceeds the control width, replace the end
           of the label with an ellipsis; uses wxControl::Ellipsize.
    @style{wxST_MARKUP}
           Support markup in the label; see SetLabel() for more information.

        style is used, on those platforms which support it (currently only GTK+ 2). 
        For the other platforms or when @c wxST_MARKUP is not used, the markup is ignored.

        The non-escaped ampersand @c &amp; characters are interpreted as
        mnemonics; see wxControl::SetLabel.
