Description
|
Creates a static text label gadget and returns its handle. Requires Extended language mode. Labels are the captions of your GUI - the "Position X" next to a field, a heading over a list, a status line under a panel. They are display-only: a label never takes keyboard focus and posts no gadget-action events. Static does not mean fixed, though. SetGadgetText updates a label instantly, which makes labels a cheap live readout - the selection and context menus sample uses one as its selection status line. Text is UTF-8, and SetGadgetFont can restyle it for headings. Style 3 draws the label with a sunken frame, handy for read-only value displays. See it working in the window and button sample and throughout the world editor shell sample. See also: SetGadgetText, GadgetText, SetGadgetFont, CreateTextField, CreateLinkLabel. |
