Label

This part simply displays text. It supports no events, so does not accept action source code.

The following example shows how pressing a button on the same screen can change label properties.

Label Example

1

Part Placement

Load the editor and place a label and a button on the panel layout.

2

Changing label properties

The label properties for display text, color, font size, and character position support read/write access using the standard dot notation: part_name.property.

Changing the display text for the part named Label1 to "Off" requires the following line.

Label1.caption="Off"

Changing the foreground color to yellow, the background color to brown, the font size to big, and the character position to left-justified requires the following lines.

Label1.FG = &H00ffff Foreground color: Yellow
Label1.BG = &H5088B2 Background color: Brown
Label1.Fsize = 32 Font size:32
Label1.Justify = 2 Character position: Left-justified

Add the above to the skeleton created in the Source Code Edit window for pressing PB1.
