hmmmm.... I suspect you didn't specify a size for the Label AND the original text was shorter than the one you're changing it to.

when Win32::GUI creates a Label, it tries to fit the text specified in the -text parameter. but if you later change the text to something longer, the Label itself doesn't grow in dimension, so you may very well see only part of the text.

try giving a (big enough) size to the Label and see if it works (BTW, some sample code would help a lot :-).
