    Label (control)

    From Handwiki - Reading time: 3 min
    Labels being used to indicate the purpose of a spinner box, as well as for a category heading.

    A label is a graphical control element which displays text on a form. It is usually a static control; having no interactivity. A label is generally used to identify a nearby text box or other widget.[1] Some labels can respond to events such as mouse clicks, allowing the text of the label to be copied, but this is not standard user-interface practice. Labels usually cannot be given the focus.

    There is also a similar control known as a link label. Unlike a standard label, a link label looks and acts like a hyperlink, and can be selected and activated.[2] This control may have features such as changing colour when clicked or hovered over.
