Oh no, it will not work actually. FrmGetLabel accepts labelID and
FrmHideObject accepts object INDEX. This means that you should use:
FrmHideObject(frmP,FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP,AmountLabel)); // if Amount
label is object id
// or
FrmHideObject(frmP,Label); // if Label is object Index
The same is for FrmShowObject;
