PureComponents Label controls are used to display text or images that cannot be edited by the user. They are used to identify objects on a form to provide a description of what a certain control will do if clicked, for example, or to display information in response to a run-time event or process in your application. For example, you can use labels to add descriptive captions to text boxes, list boxes, combo boxes, and so on. You can also write code that changes the text displayed by a label in response to events at run time. For example, if your application takes a few minutes to process a change, you can display a processing-status message in a label.

The caption displayed in the label is contained in the Text property. The Alignment property allows you to set the alignment of the text within the label.

Shape property determines the shape of the Label. The shape shows if you set the BackColor or turn on the label imaging.
