How to Add a Label Widget

It’s time to add a Label widget. You’ll start by working on the user interface created from How to add a String.

Add a Label Widget

The Toolbox pane appears at the top right of the screen designer area on the right side of Legato composer. If you don’t see the Toolbox pane, click Window -> Reset Windows in the menu bar.

1. Drag a Label widget from the Toolbox to your screen.

2. Drag the Label widget so that it is positioned in the bottom half of the screen and centered.

3. Use the Object Editor to set its exact size and location. Under Position field, set X to 110 and Y to 252. Under Size field, set Width to 263 and set Height to 50. Set the button Scheme to LabelScheme. Set String field to LabelWidgetString.

Note: the color of the Label is a default setting. In the next tutorial, will create a new scheme LabelScheme and set our new Label's scheme property to LabelScheme.

Click File -> Save to save your new Screen create.
