RE: Question on CtlGetLabel()

[Chang . Elizabeth]

You are right.  CtlGetLabel does return a pointer to the control's label
text, but not the text.  I was able to do a StrCopy to save it to a char*
variable at the ctlSelectEvent.  However, If I do the same thing outside of
this event, I don't get the label text (of 8/7/01).  Instead, I get
something like "@s...".

Eh?  My copy of the 4.0 doc doesn't say that.  CtlGetLabel does always
return a pointer to the control's label text, for those control types that
do have a text label.  (Which is all but graphical controls and sliders.)
