To Get the Localized Label for an Action

Use the DtActionLabel() function to get the localized label for an action.

char *DtActionLabel(char *actionName)

An action definition may include a label. The label is defined using the label_text field:

ACTION action_name {

   LABEL label_text
   ...
}

This label is used in graphical components (such as File Manager and the Application Manager) to label the action's icon. If an action definition does not include a label_text field, the action_name is used.

The value of label_text string should be used by all interface components to identify the action to the end user.

The DtActionLabel() function returns the value of the label_text field in the action definition of the action named actionName. If the label_text field does not exist, the function returns the actionName.
