CtlSetLabel

[Ted Pederson]

For labels, it seems safer to use FrmCopyLabel(), but you are still 
limited to changing the text to a string that is the same or less length 
than the original string in the resource. Is this correct? Is there any 
way around this?

On pg. 249 of the Bible, there is the snippet that changes the label of 
a popup trigger. It just goes ahead and does a StrCopy() and call 
CtlSetLabel(). How can this be safe?

I would guess there will be enough space allocated for the popup 
trigger's label to hold any of the strings in the associated list. But 
if you are using LstSetListChoices(), as it says on pg. 249 that it 
would be ok to do, what if you allocated a new longer string in the list 
? Wouldn't that cause problems?
