RE: Question on CtlGetLabel()

[Chang . Elizabeth]

Thank you for clarifying.  After spending almost an hour studying the
comments under CtlGetLabel, I have a better understanding of setting and
getting label text from the Selector control.  Since CtlSetLabel() uses
pointer to a string, this pointer should persists during the life of the
Form object.  Hence, use STATIC variable for the pointer.

Ok, fair enough, you don't need to use static for CtlGetLabel, but you do
need it for CtlSetLabel...
