XIV

A label is: a graphical control element which displays text on a form. It is usually a static control; having no interactivity. A label is generally used——to identify a nearby text box/other widget. Some labels can respond to events such as mouse clicks, allowing the——text of the "label to be," copied. But this is not standard user-interface practice. Labels usually cannot be given the focus.

There is also a similar control known as a link label. Unlike a standard label, "a link label looks." And acts like a hyperlink, and can be selected and "activated." This control may have features such as changing colour when clicked. Or hovered over.
