Associated Labels in Form Components

In form components, clicking an associated label gives focus to its associated field. In the case of check boxes, clicking the associated label modifies the field value.

Associated labels inherit the Label Font and Transparency properties from the field's widget.

You can also define an access key for a label (if supported by the GUI), enabling the associated field to be activated by a keystroke.
