Javier,
I usually do this, and it works ok:
 
Set the background color of the variable edit to the same color as your form.
On the Effects tab, check Visible Frame and uncheck all the boxes in Frame Sides section. (Alternately, you can set the frame color to the same color as your form.)
 
I really don't understand the Visible Frame thing, but I've found that the above steps make a variable edit look like a variable label.  Don't forget to set it to Read Only and uncheck the Enabled field.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Form Question

I need to display a non-editable variable in a form but I want the display to look like a variable label, i.e. no box around the variable and transparent, so the value displays as plain text over the background, is there a way that I can do this? I have also thought of setting it as variable label but I do not believe that there is a way to update the text of the variable label with code (PROPERTY….TEXTVALUE…). TIA.

Javier,
