Label
xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label controls usually provide information in the [!INCLUDETLA#tla_ui]. Historically, a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label has contained only text, but because the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label that ships with [!INCLUDETLA#tla_winclient] is a xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl, it can contain either text or a xref:System.Windows.UIElement.
A xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label provides both functional and visual support for access keys. It is frequently used to enable quick keyboard access to controls such as a xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox. To assign a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label to a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Control, set the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label.Target%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType property to the control that should get focus when the user presses the access key.
The following image shows a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label "Theme" that targets a xref:System.Windows.Controls.ComboBox. When the user presses T, the xref:System.Windows.Controls.ComboBox receives focus. For more information, see How to: Set the Target Property of a Label.
