Runs the object label section in the frame's SCL program

Syntax

objectName._objectLabel( );

Details

The _objectLabel method, which is normally used when an object is subclassed, is not called by SCL code. It is invoked automatically by the frame when the object is modified or selected. By default, the _objectLabel method runs the label associated with the object in the frame's SCL program.

This method can be overridden if preprocessing or postprocessing is needed for the object label section.

Example

To process information both before and after the object label in the frame's SCL program runs, you can override the _objectLabel method of the object and write your method similar to this:

length _method_ $ 40;

OBJLAB:
 method;

  /*---- perform preprocessing -----*/ /*------------*/

  /* some SCL statements here; */
  /* some SCL statements here; */
  /* some SCL statements here; */

  /*--- run the object label section in the FRAME ---*/

  _super_._method();

  /*---- perform postprocessing --- */

  /* more SCL statements here; */
  /* more SCL statements here; */
  /* more SCL statements here; */
 endmethod;
