+\func{static const wxString\&}{GetLabelText}{\param{const wxString\& }{label}}

+Returns the control's label or the given \arg{label} string for the static

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