I'm having a problem with multiple lines on a label.

I've tried using ES\_MULTILINE, but whenever I use that I get a grey/black rectangle on the location of the label, without the text of the label.

```
CreateWindowW(L"STATIC", selectedPatternProblem, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE | WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC,500, 190, 380, 90,*hwnd, (HMENU) 1, NULL, NULL);

```

And when I add WM\_CTLCOLORSTATIC, the rectangle is gone, but so is my text.
The 'selectedPatternProblem' is too big to display on just one line, so my question is:

How can I display my label on multiple lines?

**Edit:** After deleting ES\_MULTILINE and WM\_CTLCOLORSTATIC, I found out my word was too long. But now I wonder how can I display one long word on multiple lines?
