Summary
Types
-type wxControl() :: wx:wx_object().
Functions
-spec getLabel(This) -> unicode:charlist() when This :: wxControl().
Returns the control's label, as it was passed to setLabel/2.
Note that the returned string may contains mnemonics ("&" characters) if they
were passed to the setLabel/2 function; use GetLabelText() (not implemented
in wx) if they are undesired.
Also note that the returned string is always the string which was passed to
setLabel/2 but may be different from the string passed to SetLabelText()
(not implemented in wx) (since this last one escapes mnemonic characters).
-spec setLabel(This, Label) -> ok when This :: wxControl(), Label :: unicode:chardata().
Sets the control's label.
All "&" characters in the label are special and indicate that the following
character is a mnemonic for this control and can be used to activate it from
the keyboard (typically by using Alt key in combination with it). To insert a
literal ampersand character, you need to double it, i.e. use "&&". If this
behaviour is undesirable, use SetLabelText() (not implemented in wx) instead.
