That is OK. Constructor won't display the uparrow. You should see it when
you run your app.

Having the label text appear empty is OK because Constructor can't display
the uparrow. I don't know why the Hex checkbox is disabled. It works for
me. When Hex is checked, I see 03; when it's not checked, I see no label
text.
