Label Text

Text of the label. If the label is attached to a field, it can be set in ProcScript using the $labelproperties function.

text="LabelText"

Description

To set this property, change its value in the the Properties Inspector.

You can use the $text function to provide alternate label texts, such as a different spelling for American or British audiences, or a translated label for multilingual applications.

Using $labelproperties

In the following example, the field labels of the ABBREVIATION and FULLNAME fields are set in the exec operation. The show command draws the form, making the label available. After the $labelproperties instructions, the edit command refreshes the display with the new labels.

operation exec
  show
  $labelproperties (ABBREVIATION) = "text=Initials"
  $labelproperties (FULLNAME) = "text=Employee Name"
  edit
end; exec
