Hello,

is there a chance to add this functionality to the label?

Thanks for your reply.

Hello, Radek,

The simplest way to achieve subscript and superscript on RadLabel at this moment is to use Unicode super/subscript characters. For digits and common symbols, use the dedicated Unicode characters declared here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dyj0zQTA0PMMVzMDCrE2Z2vViz4STDgwIbJhqoXCvEo/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0 

For example:

// Superscript: X² 
radLabel1.Text = "X\u00B2";          // X²

// Subscript: H₂O
radLabel2.Text = "H\u2082O";         // H₂O

Here is the result:

Hello,

thank you for your response. The digits work correctly, but I still need uppercase subscript letters A, B, C, and D.

This particular letter does not have a Unicode code.

Hello,

At this moment, it is not possible to show uppercase subscript letters in RadLabel. Currently, only RadRichTextEditor supports true subscript/superscript formatting through its API. The reliable approach is to style a read-only RadRichTextEditor so it looks like a label and use the following code snippet:

// Superscript:
this.radRichTextEditor1.Insert("X");
this.radRichTextEditor1.ToggleSuperscript();
this.radRichTextEditor1.Insert("A");
this.radRichTextEditor1.ToggleSuperscript();

I logged a feture request to introduce support for subscript/superscript in RadLabel, as you requested. You can vote for the item or add your comments to it here: RadLabel: Add subscript/superscript support

Hello,

thank you. Now I will use radRichTextEditor, but support for subscript/superscript would be great.
