Label text
NoteIf the value property of the used UI element is linked through a context binding to the ABAP Dictionary, and the label property text is not set, the relevant text of the ABAP Dictionary is automatically used.
This property can be personalized by administrators.
- textDirection
Text or writing direction.
This enables labels of interface elements to be read in languages that have an RTL writing direction, such as Arabic or Hebrew, as opposed to LTR for languages like English.
This property can be personalized by administrators.
Value Description Can Be Set Using Personalization INHERIT
The text direction is inherited from the parent element. Therefore, the text direction is identical to that of the parent element.

- width
Width of the UI element; see also Methods and Properties.
This property can be personalized by administrators.
- wrapping
Indicates whether or not the text is wrapped. If the value is false, the text is not wrapped.
This property can be personalized by administrators.
- editable
If this property is set, you can double-click (slowly) on the label and then edit the label text.
After you have changed the text and provided there is a binding to an event handler, the OnChange event is triggered.
NoteThe persistence of the changed text depends on the data binding that was originally selected for the label in question.
If the label text comes directly from the ABAP Dictionary (from a context binding), the changed text is only available in the OnChange event handler (in parameter newText). But if the text is retrieved using cl_wd_label_->get_text(), the Web Dynpro ABAP runtime returns the text from the ABAP Dictionary that resets the label of the UI element back to this text.
