Setting a margin in a label

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Is there a way to set the margins in a label.

Specifically, what I need to do is make sure that the text begins 6 pixels
to the left of the label border and that the baseline of the text is 5
pixels above the lower border of the label.

Is there any way to accomplish this with the standard label or am I going to
have to create my own label control?

Thanks.

That's not supported by the standard label, but you can create a control
that inherits the label and overrides its 'OnPaint' method. There you
can place your custom drawing code.

That's what I figured. Just thought I'd check. Thanks.
