What is the difference between a regular label and a static label?
This should give you some understanding.
There is no "offical" thing called a "static label". The only official meaning of the word "static" in VB is a modifier on local variables so that they persist their value while they are out of scope. A variable can be Static but a Label can't.
The general meaning of the word "static" is unmoving or unchanging so, in that sense, a Label might be considered static if you never change its Text. There's nothing special about the actual Label though, just as there's nothing special about a car that you never paint a different colour. The fact that you don't do something to an object doesn't make the object special.
It's worth noting that that documentation relates to Win32 development, not .NET development. Also, if you do consider a control that can't be selected as being "static" then all Labels are static, so a regular Label is a static Label and there's no other kind.Quote:
