Text Constant Control

This document covers the following topics:


Description

A text constant control displays non-modifiable text within a dialog. You use it, for example, to describe which data can be entered in an adjacent input field control. The text STRING in text constant controls may also contain a mnemonic key (&). If the end user presses the mnemonic key, the next input dialog element in the navigation sequence gets the focus.
