I have created a static control the is initialy not visible and is a child of the main window, it has no text.

I latter show the window and set the text (SetWinowText()), how ever the text will not wrap and just trims itself.

window style tags used: WS_CHILD | SS_SIMPLE (using white seems to disable text display)

why wont it wrap? even adding SS_LEFT dosn't work.
