I believe that Dave means that you should assign the maximum number of
characters to the label when you create it in Constructor. For example, if
the original label is "abc" and you later change it to "abcde" you will
over-write some other part of the form. However, if the original label is
"abc " ('a', 'b', 'c', ' ', ' ', \0) or " abc" (' ', ' ', 'a', 'b', 'c',
\0) then it won't cause any problem if you later change it to "abcde".
Most of the time, however, if you intend to change the value of a text area
at runtime, a non-editable text field is a better choice than a label.
