        This function is mostly useful with control displaying short amounts of

        wxSearchCtrl etc. Typically it is used to size these controls for the
        maximal amount of input they are supposed to contain, for example:
        @code
            // Create a control for post code entry.
            wxTextCtrl* postcode = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);

            // And set its initial and minimal size to be big enough for

        @param xlen The horizontal extent of the area to leave for text, in
            pixels.

            pixels. By default -1 meaning that the vertical component of the
            returned size should be the default height of this control.
        @return The size that the control should have to leave the area of the
            specified size for its text. May return wxDefaultSize if this
            method is not implemented for this particular control under the

    /**
        Sets the controls label to a string using markup.

        Simple markup supported by this function can be used to apply different
        fonts or colours to different parts of the control label when supported.
        If markup is not supported by the control or platform, it is simply
        stripped and SetLabel() is used with the resulting string.

        For example,
        @code
            wxStaticText *text;
            ...
            text->SetLabelMarkup("<b>&amp;Bed</b> &amp;mp; "

                                 "available <big>HERE</big>");
        @endcode
        would show the string using bold, red and big for the corresponding
        words under wxGTK but will simply show the string "Bed &amp; breakfast
        available HERE" on the other platforms. In any case, the "B" of "Bed"
        will be underlined to indicate that it can be used as a mnemonic for
        this control.

        Also note that you need to escape the following special characters:
        <TABLE>
            <TR>
                <TD><b>Special character</b></TD>
                <TD><b>Escape as</b></TD>
            </TR>
            <TR>
                <TD>@c &amp;</TD>
                <TD>@c &amp;amp; or as @c &amp;&amp;</TD>
            </TR>
            <TR>
                <TD>@c &apos;</TD>
                <TD>@c &amp;apos;</TD>
            </TR>
            <TR>
                <TD>@c &quot;</TD>
                <TD>@c &amp;quot;</TD>
            </TR>
            <TR>
                <TD>@c &lt;</TD>
                <TD>@c &amp;lt;</TD>
            </TR>
            <TR>
                <TD>@c &gt;</TD>
                <TD>@c &amp;gt;</TD>
            </TR>
        </TABLE>

        The non-escaped ampersand @c &amp; characters are interpreted as
        mnemonics as with wxControl::SetLabel.


        @param markup
            String containing markup for the label. It may contain markup tags
            described above and newline characters but currently only wxGTK and
            wxOSX support multiline labels with markup, the generic
            implementation (also used in wxMSW) only handles single line markup
            labels. Notice that the string must be well-formed (e.g. all tags
            must be correctly closed) and won't be shown at all otherwise.
        @return
            @true if the new label was set (even if markup in it was ignored)
            or @false if we failed to parse the markup. In this case the label
            remains unchanged.


        Currently wxButton supports markup in all major ports (wxMSW, wxGTK and
        wxOSX/Cocoa) while wxStaticText supports it in wxGTK and wxOSX and its
        generic version (which can be used under MSW if markup support is
        required). Extending support to more controls is planned in the future.

        Escapes the special mnemonics characters ("&") in the given string.

        This function can be helpful if you need to set the controls label to a
        user-provided string. If the string contains ampersands, they wouldn't
        appear on the display but be used instead to indicate that the
        character following the first of them can be used as a control mnemonic.
        While this can sometimes be desirable (e.g. to allow the user to
        configure mnemonics of the controls), more often you will want to use
        this function before passing a user-defined string to SetLabel().
        Alternatively, if the label is entirely user-defined, you can just call
        SetLabelText() directly -- but this function must be used if the label
        is a combination of a part defined by program containing the control
        mnemonics and a user-defined part.

        @param text
            The string such as it should appear on the display.
        @return

        will always be shorter than @a maxWidth; if @a maxWidth is extremely
        small, ellipsized text may be larger.

        @param maxWidth
            The maximum width of the returned string in pixels.

            be removed (and replaced by ellipsis).
