i reviewed the site, however it does not indicate the methods associated "Label" and "ComboBox".

I would also like to see this information. I'm been spending the last hour trying to figure out how to set the text of a multiline edit box, and even the text of a label. It seems the XML designer names the fontstring inside the label control tags $parentLabel irregardless of what the control's name property is set to. I'm confused how I can do a SetText when more than one fontstring in my form is named the same. It worked fine for me before when I edited my XML from scratch, and named the fontstring uniquely. Do I still have to do that here? I'm sure I'm missing something.

The UI naming system substitutes $parent with the name of the parent object. So to access the actual FontString object within the Label, you can do:

If the name of the Label is $parentLabel, and your form name is TestForm you would access it by:

local fs = getglobal("TestForm".."Label".."Label")

where the names are separated to clarify the splits.

If you just called your Label TitleText, then the code is:

local fs = getglobal("TitleText".."Label");

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I've been looking for an online source for information about things like that, but there is little available, that I can see with a google search that is.
