Re: Fields Have Labels

Creation time is certainly one of the points where separate controls for a field and it's label is somewhat inconvenient. As you mentioned, there are tools out there that help alleviate the problem including Richard's. I think I probably complicated the issue by saying we needed a new property so

Following the logic that it’s more better to have separate fields for labels would dictate that the existing built-in labels for buttons and groups should be deprecated! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. ;) JimL ___ use-livecode ma

It may be helpful to have a label property for fields, but should the label have a fixed location or be settable? Should it always use the font face and style of the field, or be independently settable? What of its opaque, borderwidth, and other properties? So we could invent a new syntax fo
