Silly question about labels.

I have a bit of simple code that on the change of a picker value. It is supposed to update a label.text.

I can read the value, but for some reason, I cannot update it..

label.text isn't read only, is it?

  • Howdy. Should be writable. I just did that this last weekend for the first time. :)

    thelabel.text = "I'm changed!";

    Hope that helps a touch.

    • maybe give it an initial blank value first on creation, like text:""? I'm just curious myself to see if that makes a difference.

  • yeah.. that's what I've got.. it's not updating the label…

    wonder if it has to do with the layering hmm weird.

  • Interesting find…

    I have a set of 12 views that are scrollable. There is a picker on each view, but it's getting confused. with the label it's supposed to be updating or something… When I limit the view count to 1.. the code works as it should be..

    any suggestions anyone?
