Purpose

.MousePressedLabel allows you to specify the label to be applied to certain objects when the mouse pointer is over it and the primary mouse is depressed.

This property can also be used to configure the visual appearance of the Drag avatar used in the Drag and Drop functionality. The label is then displayed when the mouse is pressed during the Drag operation.

Note that the Drag operation does not have its own Logic Event (logic is fired on the Drop). Consequently, you must set the visual appearance of the Drag avatar in code before the Drag occurs in the Timing Cycle. Click here for more information about Drag and Drop.
