Fields Have Labels

[dunbarx at aol.com]

If you: set the label of fld "testField" to "XYZ"


and have, in the card script, say


setProp label
answer random(999)
end label


The control structure does not fire.


If you:  set the ZZTOP of fld "testField" to "XYZ"


and have:



setProp ZZTOP
answer random(999)
end ZZTOP


It does. So the "label" property of a field is not a custom property, it is a built-in property. It is just not settable in the inspector, nor viewable, as has been said, like, say, button labels are.

IF you set the label of the field, you're not setting a built in property,
you're creating a property named label.
