<b>Function</b>
<dd>
Defines a text label.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Syntax</b>
<dd>
<tt>dlgLabel(string Text [, int Update])</tt>
<p>
<dt>
<b>Description</b>
<dd>
The <tt>dlgLabel</tt> statement defines a label with the given <tt>Text</tt>.
<p>
<tt>Text</tt> can be either a string literal, as in <tt>"Hello"</tt>, or a string variable.
<p>
If the <tt>Update</tt> parameter is not <tt>0</tt> and <tt>Text</tt> is a string variable,
its contents can be modified in the <tt>statement</tt> of, e.g., a <a href=299.htm>dlgPushButton</a>,
and the label will be automatically updated. This, of course, is only
useful if <tt>Text</tt> is a dedicated string variable (not, e.g., the loop variable of
a <tt>for</tt> statement).
<p>
If <tt>Text</tt> contains an <tt>'&amp;'</tt>, the character following the ampersand
will become a hotkey, and when the user hits <tt>Alt+hotkey</tt>, the focus will go to the
object that was defined immediately following the <tt>dlgLabel</tt>.
To have an actual <tt>'&amp;'</tt> character in the text it has to be <a href=317.htm>escaped</a>.
