The functionality includes customizable label text, positioning options (Auto, Top, Left, Inside, None), and width settings, with an option to auto-set the width to 80.

Dynamics
Usually, configuring Graphic Elements also involves defining Dynamics for them. A dynamic defines how graphic elements respond to user inputs and other events, including handling clicks, updating displays in real-time, and dynamic data visualization. Refer to Dynamics and UI Elements for more information.
Runtime Execution
In Runtime Execution, users interact with components dynamically. When users press click a button, the application executes the associated command or action immediately. The button provides visual feedback, such as changing color or appearance, to indicate it has been pressed. This triggers the configured actionsevent handlers in the solution, which carry out the designated operation, such as updating starting a value, opening a displaymachine, submitting data, or executing a script. These interactions happen in real time, providing immediate feedback and functionality based on development configurationsopening a new interface.
