If you're going to alter a label at run time, make sure you do not attempt
to write more characters to it than the label was originally designed to
hold (as Ben pointed out). Pose may complain, but the warning does not
appear when running on a real device (which could be dangerous if you ignore
or didn't get the message on Pose) My suggestion is to either write your
text directly to the screen using WinDrawChars or use a read-only edit
field.
