Constructor Detail

Label

public Label(Composite composite,
             int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The style value is either one of the style constants defined in the class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing them. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

composite - - a composite control being the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - - the style of the control to be constructed

Method Detail

setText

public void setText(String string)

This method sets the widget label. The label may include the mnemonic character and line delimiters. Mnemonics are indicated by an '&' that causes the next character to be the mnemonic. When the user presses a key sequence that matches the mnemonic, focus is assigned to the control that follows the label. On most platforms, the mnemonic appears underlined but may be emphasised in a platform specific manner. The mnemonic indicator character '&' can be escaped by doubling it in the string, causing a single '&' to be displayed.

Parameters:

string - - the widget label
