String doesn't fit in label

[Chrissie]

This is probably very very easy...i think there's some pre-made function in VB for it..but I can't find it...

I have a string...."sgsdgkjdsglkdjglkdjglkdjfglkdgjlkdg"
And a label which can hold up to 8 character and 4 lines (for examle)

When I use

label1.Caption = xstring

it will only show the first 8 characters....

But I want it to have the first 8 on the first line..and the next 8 on the next line..

So I need a function to split it and enter space between it...(I suppose)

If the string is "sgsdg kjdsglkdjg lkdjglkdjfgl kdgjlkdg" then it will work fine...

Just re size your label?
Or maybe use instr to check if word is at the 8th position, make a " & vbcrlf "

[Chrissie]

Resizing the label is no option...
Checking for the 8 position is not an option...
consider the string is "blas bladf" - there is a charachter at the 8 position but I don't want it to be split as there's already a space in the word in front of it...

Use Split on spaces.
Step throuugh the array for any item with more than 8 characters.

OR

Step through the string character by character.
When you get to a space, start the special count again.
When you get to 8, add a space and start the special count again.
