The Label property specifies the label being displayed in the level. Use the Alignment property to specify the label's alignment. Use the ToolTip property to specify the tooltip being displayed when the cursor hovers the level. Use the BackColor and ForeColor properties to change the level's appearance. The Label property changes the Unit property, so Unit property must be called after changing the Label property, if case. For instance, let's say that we have the Label property as : "<%mmm%> <%d%>, '<%yy%>", the Unit property will be automatically set to exDay, because the <%d%> is the minimum unit in the format. The WeekDays property retrieves or sets a value that indicates the list of names for each week day, separated by space. Use the MonthNames property to specify the name of the months in the year. The FormatDate property formats a date.

The Label property supports the following built-in tags:

The Label property supports the following built-in HTML tags:

bold bolds a part of the caption.
underline specifies that the portion should appear as underlined.
<s> ~~strikeout~~ </s> specifies that the portion should appear as strikeout.
italic specifies that the portion should appear as italic.
<fgcolor=FF0000>fgcolor</fgcolor> changes the foreground color for a portion.
<bgcolor=FF0000>bgcolor</bgcolor> changes the background color for a portion.
breaks a line.
<solidline> draws a solid line. If has no effect for a single line caption.
<dotline> draws a dotted line. If has no effect for a single line caption.
<upline> draws the line to the top of the text line
<r> aligns the rest of the text line to the right side. It has no effect if the caption contains a single line.
<img>number[:width]</img> inserts an icon inside the cell's caption. The number indicates the index of the icon being inserted. The width is optional and indicates the width of the icon being inserted. Using the width option you can overwrite multiple icons getting a nice effect. By default, if the width field is missing, the width is 18 pixels.

The Label property may be a combination of any of these tags. For instance, the "<%mmm%> <%d%>, '<%yy%>" displays a date like: "May 29,'05".
