GTK Labels

GTK Labels (gtk_label, defined in gtklabel.h) are used to store a fixed word (or line) of text, that the user cannot edit. Here is how we create and manipulate one:

/* create a new label. */
GtkWidget* label = gtk_label_new("Uneditable Text");

/* replace the text of the label. */
gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(label),
                   "U-n-e-d-i-t-a-b-l-e T-e-x-t");

The window would look like this:
