Class Details

[line 27]
Wraps a label for the use in the direct vicinity of a formelement.

Each value-widget can have a label, to describe it's purpose, this class gathers the necessary information, and compile the label with correct linkage and wrapping.

If you want a logical connection between a label and an element, make sure the element has an id, since that's what defines the connection here.

This element should not be inserted manually into a form, but rather be seen as a subwidget automatically provided the a value-bearing-element. If you implement one yourself, be sure to also use Label.
