Good point. For lots of reasons, the names of my option menus aren't
suitable for display to a user. Maybe the cleanest thing to do then is, if
the text of the menu is empty, set its label as suggested by Richard. I

Don't think you're missing anything. The example of table/column menus

impossible to have a db without tables or a table without column.
Maybe a better example of the empty menu might be one menu with a list of

I still can't invisage a situation where you'd want an empty option button.
If in Peter's example the first btn was a list of customers, and the second
button was a list of their invoices, if a customer has no invoices their
name shouldn't appear in the first button.
If on the the other hand the

Interesting observation Scott. Makes me wonder if I'm actually using the

For example, I might have an option menu which lists the names of tables in

There's no call to action in that situation (other

What might be handy is some kind of “useTooltipIfEmpty” property. Then the end

If you remove the asterisks, you would fail to find any code that uses the

Because if you don’t set the label to empty, then the name of the control is
displayed as the default choice. It looks like crap, and irritated me, so as a
quick fix, I set mine to empty as well. There are times when there is no
default choice, that any choice is as viable as the rest.
