Form Editor - Label Help

The Label control provides a text label.

Label is used for displaying text. The visual appearance of the label can be configured in various ways, and it can be used for specifying a focus mnemonic key for another control.

The HTML elements can be used inside the label text, for example, to make some part of text italic or bold.

Text is <b>bold</b>.
Text is <i>italic</i>.

HTML hyperlinks are allowed as well, linkActivated signal is emitted when the user clicks such a link:

Text is a <a href='www.valentina-db.com'>link</a>.

• Name – The name of the control.

• Text Alignment – Defines both the horizontal and vertical text alignment.

• Auto Fill Background – This property holds whether the control background is filled automatically.
• Enabled – Defines whether the control is enabled or not.
• Font – This property holds the font currently set for the control. The default depends on the system environment.

• Palette – This property describes the control's palette.

The palette is used by the control's style when rendering. The color roles from this palette are combined with the control's default palette to form the control's final palette. The default depends on the system environment and may be different on different platforms. Control propagates explicit palette roles from parent to child. If you assign a brush or color to a specific role on a palette, that role will propagate to all the control's children, overriding any system defaults for that role.
