William Hunter Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 2, 2012 #1 I am trying to change label text programmatically. The label has been declared in Globals and initiated in Activity_Create. The code for the text change is in another sub. I have been able to make similar text changes with buttons, but can’t seem to do this with labels. Any help would be appreciated. :sign0085:

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 2, 2012 #3 It's the same as with Buttons. Label1.Text = somestringvariable or Label1.Text = "some text". If the label is defined in a layout file you must NOT initialize it in Activity_Create ! Otherwise you are initiating a new instance and have no acces to the one difined in the layout file.

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Oct 24, 2012 #7 You don't give enough information ! Where and how do you define Label1 ? - in a layout file ? - in the code ? Do you Dim Label1 As Label in the Globals routine ? Best regards. Upvote 0
