This function returns a widget used to display a string message with scroll bars. It is essentially a multi-line label widget that cannot be auto-managed on its own. You typically combine this widget with a compound widget that is auto-managed. The function returns the base ID of the widget, and an interactive ENVI Classic session is required to run it.

Syntax

---

Result = WIDGET_SLABEL(Base [, /FRAME], PROMPT=string [, XSIZE=value] [, YSIZE=value])

Arguments

---

Base

This is the ID of the base widget.

This is a passive widget that does not generate events.

Example

---

The following example creates the widget shown in the above description.

base = widget_auto_base(title='WIDGET_SLABEL')

ws = widget_slabel(base, prompt='This is a text message.')

widget_control, base, /realize

However, instead of creating a standalone widget with a text message, you typically combine WIDGET_SLABEL with another compound widget that is auto-managed. Following is an example of combining WIDGET_SLABEL with WIDGET_STRING.

base = widget_auto_base(title='Edit String')

ws = widget_string(base, uvalue='str', /auto)

wss = widget_slabel(base, $

   prompt='This is the WIDGET_SLABEL text message')

result = auto_wid_mng(base)

Following is the resulting widget:
