get-label

Generic way of getting a label from any window, perhaps for identification purposes. Some windows do not have labels (such as subwindows), but frames, dialogs and panel items all have labels, where the interpretation of what constitutes a label differs from class to class. This can be useful for meta-programs (such as testing tools or special-needs access programs) which need to identify windows by name rather than visually.

• (send a-wx:item get-label) -> string or null

  Gets the (stripped) item label string. If the label is a bitmap, null is returned.
