What should be the name for controls that contain static text? These controls are sometimes (but not always) used to label other controls.

I see advantages and disadvantages to each poll choice. Which do you think is most appropriate (i.e. easiest to remember, etc.)?

Isn't Microsoft's standard "StaticText"? I don't like the name Label because it might not be used as a label per say. It could see where I would use it other ways, and Text seems a better fit.

thanks,

It's good and meaningful, but since it's not a commonly used word (compared to label and text), I suspect it would be harder to remember.

That could be true within their documentation, but within their API it's simply "static". Rajat was right to point out that a static control (depending on its style) can contain either a picture, a string of text, or perhaps other things.
