The ActiveBar Label control allows you to display text, icons, or both that can be manipulated directly by a user. You can use a label control as a caption for another control on your form that does not possess a Caption property or to display text to notify the user of an application event. On Toolbar type bands, the Type property for a Label tool must be switched from the default 0-ddSStandard to 1-ddSText in order for the label text to display in the Toolbar band. Use the LabelFormat property to change the VB6 formatting for ddLSTime and ddLSDate style labels.
