LabelText

java.lang.Object
- java.awt.Component
  - java.awt.Container
    - javax.swing.JComponent
      - javax.swing.JPanel

public class LabelText extends JPanel implements Serializable

A label and text combination, inspired by the LabelText control in Guy Eddon's ActiveX Components book (2nd Edition, p. 203). But done more simply, without using a GUI builder just to create a (captiveX) project and then typing 100 lines of code.
