In this article we will see how we can set and access the description of the label. 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 or other widget. Description of label is the details of the label, setting description helps in better understanding of the details for back-end purposes. To set the Description –
Syntax : label.setAccessibleDescription(details) Argument : It takes string as argument. Return : No return value.
To access the Description –
Syntax : label.setaccessibleDescription() Argument : It takes no argument. Return : It returns string.
Code :
