Label 

The Label UI element is used for labeling other UI elements. Therefore, it is always associated with another UI elements. The appearance is defined by the design property.

If the assigned UI element has the status required, this is indicated by a small red star to the right of the label text.

With an inactive UI element (enabled=false) the label is also indicated as inactive.

If the assigned UI element has an explanation text and the help mode is activated, this is indicated by a small i to the right of the label text. When you move the mouse over the label, the text is displayed.

By clicking on the label, the assigned UI element is activated (dropdown* UI elements and input fields are focused, check boxes toggled and radio buttons selected).

This UI element supports the accessibility of the Web Dynpro application.

To enable the development of accessible applications the tooltip property is not checked during the syntax check.
