.SH NAME
wxControl \- Functions for wxControl class
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
This is the base class for a control or "widget"\&.
.LP
A control is generally a small window which processes user input and/or displays one or more item of data\&.
.LP
See: \fIwxValidator\fR\& (not implemented in wx)
.LP
This class is derived (and can use functions) from: \fIwxWindow\fR\& \fIwxEvtHandler\fR\&

.LP
Returns the control\&'s label, as it was passed to \fIsetLabel/2\fR\&\&.
.LP
Note that the returned string may contains mnemonics ("&" characters) if they were passed to the \fIsetLabel/2\fR\& function; use \fIGetLabelText()\fR\& (not implemented in wx) if they are undesired\&.
.LP
Also note that the returned string is always the string which was passed to \fIsetLabel/2\fR\& but may be different from the string passed to \fISetLabelText()\fR\& (not implemented in wx) (since this last one escapes mnemonic characters)\&.

Sets the control\&'s label\&.
.LP
All "&" characters in the \fIlabel\fR\& are special and indicate that the following character is a \fImnemonic\fR\& for this control and can be used to activate it from the keyboard (typically by using \fIAlt\fR\& key in combination with it)\&. To insert a literal ampersand character, you need to double it, i\&.e\&. use "&&"\&. If this behaviour is undesirable, use \fISetLabelText()\fR\& (not implemented in wx) instead\&.
