Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Label text selection

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

Yeah, that's something I overlooked.  setText needs to be called in order to
see an immediate change, but there's no reason to call setText every time
you change a label property.  Doesn't setHTML also fire a load event, too?

An addition boolean passed to each of the setter method could determine if
the text is to be re-rendered.  or optionally, we could just require that
setText should be invoked manually, rather than automatically from within
another setter method.
