Rick,
are you sure label controls do exist ? If you have a license, try menu,
Insert, Control, Microsoft Common Controls to be sure. Under Forms, it does
exist. From my programming days, I remember the text box, with a caption or
a text.
I also cannot glue another icon control than the minimize .. icons to the
title bar. Even when I add a connection point to them.
For the interested, I add the help :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create an application window
From Windows and Dialogs, drag a Blank form shape onto the drawing page.
With the shape selected, type a title for the application window.
To add an icon to the left of the text in the title bar, right-click the
Blank form shape and check the Room for Icon check box.
Drag a Window buttons shape onto the right end of the title bar and select
the button type. There are typically three buttons: a Minimize button, a
Maximize or Restore button, and a Close button, arranged left to right.
From Toolbars and Menus, drag a Menu bar shape onto the Blank form shape,
glue it to the bottom of the title bar, and then add menu items.
How
Drag a Top-level menu item shape to the page and glue it to the left edge of
the Menu bar.
Tip
You can place an icon to the left of the first menu item.
With the shape selected, type a name. If the menu item has a keyboard
shortcut, underline the appropriate letter.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary.
Notes
For help with a shape, right-click it and click Help.
To hide the connection points , on the View menu, click Connection Points.
Items in a column should all be the width of the widest one.
Tip
To show the gripper dots at the left edge of the menu bar, right-click the
shape and clear the Lock Menu Bar check box.
From Toolbars and Menus, drag a Toolbar shape onto the Blank form shape,
glue it to the bottom of the menu bar, and then add toolbar buttons.
How
Drag one of the Toolbar buttons shapes to the page and glue it to the left
edge of the Toolbar shape.
In the Custom Properties dialog box, choose the type of button you want. If
you want to change the button later, right-click the shape and click Set
Button Type to reopen the Custom Properties dialog box.
Drag out more Toolbar buttons and Button separator shapes as necessary and
glue them to each other.
Notes
For help with a shape, right-click it and click Help.
To hide the connection points , on the View menu, click Connection Points.
Tip
To show the gripper dots at the left edge of the toolbar, right-click the
shape and clear the Lock Toolbar check box.
From Common Controls drag horizontal and vertical scroll bars as necessary
to the right and bottom edges of the Blank form shape.
Right-click the scroll bars and choose Set Thumb Size to indicate how far
the window can scroll.
Tip
To indicate that only a small portion of the document is visible, make the
thumb size small. To indicate that most of the document is visible, make the
thumb size large.
Drag a Status bar shape to the lower edge of the application window and
format appropriately.
How
Drag a Status bar divider shape to the page and glue it to the Status bar
shape's control handle .
Notes
Control handles provide a place to glue a Status bar divider shape to a
Status bar or to another Status bar divider shape.
If you can't see a Status bar divider shape after you glue it to a Status
bar shape, select the Status bar shape and, on the Shape menu, point to
Order, and then click Send backward.
Drag a Window Resize shape to the right edge of the status bar to indicate
that the window is currently resizable.
Note Microsoft Wordpad is a good example of an application window that
contains all the basic elements.
