Static Text

Static Text is non-editable text content that can be applied to the screen. It was included in the tool to allow you to use the same screen shot for multiple screens by changing the text of this control, rather than providing multiple screen shots.

Static Text Settings

General Settings

Accessible Name

The visual label that appears on the button.

This value is meaningful only as a label for you to identify the control. It is not displayed to the user in any way.

Width/Height/Top/Left

Controls the size of the control and position of the control on the screen.

Tip

With the control selected and focused in the Editing Canvas, you can press the right, left, up or down arrows to nudge the control one pixel in the direction pressed.

Holding the control key while pressing one of the arrows will resize the control in the direction pressed by one pixel.

Holding shift will cause the nudge or resize to scale by 10 pixels instead of 1.
