30
31\func{void}{Command}{\param{wxCommandEvent\& }{event}}

36\membersection{wxControl::GetLabel}\label{wxcontrolgetlabel}
37
38\constfunc{wxString}{GetLabel}{\void}
39
40Returns the control's text.
41
42Note that the returned string contains the mnemonics (\texttt{\&} characters) if
43any, use \helpref{wxControl::GetLabelText}{wxcontrolgetlabeltext} if they are
44undesired.

50
51\func{static wxString}{GetLabelText}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}
52
53Returns the control's label, or the given \arg{label} string for the static
54version, without the mnemonics characters.

57\membersection{wxControl::SetLabel}\label{wxcontrolsetlabel}
58
59\func{void}{SetLabel}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}
60
61Sets the item's text.
62
63The \texttt{\&} characters in the \arg{label} are special and indicate that the
64following character is a mnemonic for this control and can be used to activate
65it from the keyboard (typically by using \textit{Alt} key in combination with
66it). To insert a literal ampersand character, you need to double it, i.e. use
67\texttt{"\&\&"}.
