how do i change text on the fly

[ndingle]

Is there a way to change a text label on the fly?
I want to change the label on a lookout control.

Hi,

One old trick is to first not have a label for the Control. Then create an Expression object which evaluates to the desired text (choose Text as Display type), make its background transparent and place it over the Control. You can finally Group these two together (Arrange>>Group menu).

The text of the Expression can be changed with whatever logic you wish.

Hope this helps,

Khalid 🙂
