A label component represents a piece of text.
<window border="normal">Hello World </window>
If you want to specify attribute to a label, you have to specify <label> explicitly as follows.
<window border="normal"><label style="color: red" value="Hello World"/> </window>
Tip: ZUML is XML, not HTML, so it doesn't accept . However, you can use   instead.
You can control how a label is displayed with the pre, hyphen , and maxlength Properties. For example, if you specify pre to be true, all white spaces, such as new line, space and tab, are preserved.
hyphen |
pre |
maxlenth |
Description |
---|---|---|---|

<window border="normal" width="100px"><vbox id="result"> </vbox> <zscript><![CDATA[ String[] s = {"this is 9", "this is ten more to show", "this framework", "performance is everything"}; for (int j = 0; j < s.length; ++j) { Label l = new Label(s[j]); l.maxlength = 9; l.hyphen = true; l.parent = result; } ]]></zscript> </window>
The multiline property is similar to the pre property, except it preserves only the new lines and the white spaces at the beginning of each line.
