Hello,  
Simple question, but difficult to find it in Designer:  
How do I add static text to a window?  
Not a text output field or input field or even tied to any data, just static text on the screen.

Thanks for your help!

Add a label to the screen.  
On the Component Palette under Display tab is Label.  
You can bind the text or just type in what you want it to say.

Cheers,  
Chris

Okay I see it now. I was looking for something in the toolbar (like in most designers/ graphics programs). However, being able to bind sounds really useful.

Thanks!
