Hi all,

I can't display text property of a label which is not set as default in a shape.

With label set to "DefaultLabel" I do this:
            var example = shape.Labels.DefaultLabel;
            textbox.Text = example.Text;

But when I have 3-4 labels and I want to get let's say the "Text" of the second label I use "GetChildByName". The problem is that it doesn't show me "Text" property, my code:
            var example = shape.Labels.GetChildByName("SecondLabel");
            textbox.Text = ìexample.Text); <--- Text doesn't exist here...

Any hint to solve this?
Thanks

First it looks like the label reference is stored in var example, while later in your code you use iexample
Second - are you sure that a label with name SecondName is added to the labels collection?

I use var "example", iexample was a my typing mistake, and yes I've added the label. I found a solution to my problem setting the label on which I work temporarily as default...
