How to display the label when user clicks on the button?

Hi,
I have a label whose id is 5 and also a button .
The lable is hidden.
I want to display the label when user clicks on the button.

what should I write in <onclick> </onclick> of the button.
I could not find any function like control(id).show( )

Thanks

E.g.

Skin.SetString

or

SetProperty(key,value[,id])

and set label visibility based on that.

Any other way please !!

Thanks for reply.

Why?

You can try with:
<control type="button" id="8005">
<label>yourlabel</label>
<visible>Control.HasFocus(8005)</visible>

When you have focus on button, it became visible.

Or Control.GetLabel(BUTTON_ID) if that's what you mean.

I actually simplified the question , actually I am trying to make a drop down menu , whose selected value will be represented by the label of the button which is on top of the menu.
menu may be achieved by a list control,which is by default hidden when user clicks on the button the drop down menu appears just below the button. user clicks on any choice of list and that choice's label becomes label of button.

I don't want the list control to become visible when button is focused but when the button is clicked.
Now there might appear a solution like:
<control type="button">
<onclick>setfocus(list_id)</onclick>
--------many lines--------
</control>
and list control will be like:
<control type="list" id="list_id">
<visible allowhiddenfocus="true">Control.HasFocus(list_id)</visible>
--------many lines--------
</control>

but in this case even if you don't click on button and simply move your mouse to the area where the list is but is hidden, the list control becomes visible which is bad.

Any Solution ?
Thanks.

Because , when move mpuse out of the label I want the label should again become invisible , we will have to reset the string value but how & when ? means where we will write Skin.SetString(.......)?

Maybe you could try something like:

Here is what I have done:
<control type="button">
<ondown>Skin.ToggleSetting(enable_dropdown_list)</ondown>
<ondown>setfocus(6)</ondown>

<onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(enable_dropdown_list)</onclick>
<onclick>setfocus(6)</onclick>
</control>

Here is List control with many choices:

<control type="list" id="6">
<visible allowhiddenfocus="false">Skin.HasSetting(enable_dropdown_list) </visible>
</control>

when I press down arrow key on button the list control becomes visible but the list control does not take focus, so I can not press up and down arrow keys to traverse the choices with in list control.

If I write allowhiddenfocus="true" the list becomes visible when I move mouse over that area without any intension to see the list , which is bad.

what wrong I have written?


Thanks for help?
