labels does not print the entire string

Question

I have dynamically created an array of labels. however, when i tried to set label.text = "hahaha hehehehe hmmmm", it displays only "hahaha" and not anything after the space.

for (int i = 0; i < labelArray.Length; i++)
{
    labelArray[i] = new Label();
    labelArray[i].BackColor = Color.Bisque;
    labelArray[i].Font = new Font(labelArray[i].Font.FontFamily, labelArray[i].Font.Size + 5, FontStyle.Bold);
    labelArray[i].Location = new Point(25, temp);
    labelArray[i].Name = "searchLabel" + i.ToString();
    labelArray[i].Text = "hahahahaha";
    labelArray[i].MouseEnter += new EventHandler(main_MouseEnter);
    labelArray[i].MouseLeave += new EventHandler(main_MouseLeave);
    searchPanel.Controls.Add(labelArray[i]);
    temp += 40; ;
}

have I missed out any anything? btw, this is the "initialization" done in Form_load and I edited the label.text in a TextChanged event. many thanks!

edit: I have since fixed the problem by setting autosize to true.

I have tried to display e.g. "hahahahahahahahaha hmmmmmm hehehehehehehehhe" and "ha hmmmmmmm hehehehehehhe" and in both cases only the first word gets displayed so I dont think it is being truncated..

the code which i used to set the text is simply:

labelArray[11].Text = "hahahahahahahahahaha eheheheheh hmmmmm";

That means, after hahahaha, you cannot do hehehe. Its not good for health :P — Sarfaraz Nawaz

Are you sure that it's cutting at the space? Have you tried setting the text to "ha ha" to see what happens? And are we talking about how it displays, or viewing the text in the debugger? — James Johnson

try setting AutoSize attribute to true

labelArray[i].AutoSize = true;
