27\func{void}{Command}{\param{wxCommandEvent\& }{event}}

32\membersection{wxControl::GetLabel}\label{wxcontrolgetlabel}
33
34\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetLabel}{\void}
35
36Returns the control's text.
37
38Note that the returned string contains the mnemonics (\texttt{\&} characters) if
39any, use \helpref{wxControl::GetLabelText}{wxcontrolgetlabeltext} if they are
40undesired.

46
47\func{static const wxString\&}{GetLabelText}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}
48
49Returns the control's label or the given \arg{label} string for the static
50version without the mnemonics characters.

53\membersection{wxControl::SetLabel}\label{wxcontrolsetlabel}
54
55\func{void}{SetLabel}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}
56
57Sets the item's text.
58
59The \texttt{\&} characters in the \arg{label} are special and indicate that the
60following character is a mnemonic for this control and can be used to activate
61it from the keyboard (typically by using \textit{Alt} key in combination with
62it). To insert a literal ampersand character, you need to double it, i.e. use
63\texttt{"\&\&"}.
