Hi Jason,

After digging through the code for an hour or so, I realised the
TIB_Labels (which I was using) do not have a data link...they are
simply enhanced labels that happen to be able to read TIB_Edits to get
the *initial* state (required or not) and caption of the linked field.

doh!

The actual Auto-labels themselves behave correctly.

JW> Subject: [IBO] Updating Auto Label display


JW> Hello,
JW> Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Auto labels on a
JW> form to refresh themselves to correctly reflect the Required or
JW> not Required status of a field when moving from an edit state to
JW> a browse state? Or is it a bug?

JW> I'm using a TIB_Dataset which I put into Edit mode using
JW> .Insert, then after this is commited and posted, I re-open the
JW> dataset with .Open. When changing from Edit to Browse, the
JW> Auto-labels that are linked to required fields do not update to
JW> reflect the current state, however, if you drag the form off the
JW> screen to cover those Auto-labels and drag it back, then the
JW> labels are redrawn correctly.

JW> Can anyone else confirm this?

JW> Using IBObjects 4.3.Aa, Win2k, Delphi 5 Enterprise

JW> thanks
JW> Mark
