Oops, sorry, I keep forgetting that getattr() is a builtin function, and
not a method of Python objects. Here's the actual answer:
getattr(self, curlabel).Caption = "somestr"
Actually, you'd be better off checking that you have an object first:
lbl = getattr(self, curlabel, None)
if lbl:
lbl.Caption = "somestr"
