Forms: attaching labels to a combobox

[Shiva]

Hi,

When you create a combobox on a form, both a label and a combobox are
created. This label doesn't have the same properties as a label detached
from a combobox. For example, the property 'hyperlinkadres' is a property of
a label that doesn't belong to a combobox. But this property isn't a
property of the label belonging to a combobox.

Now here's my problem: I once deleted the labels being belonging to the
corresponding combobox. Now I'd like to get them back. Is there a way to do
this (without deleting the combobox and creating a new combobox+label)?

Thanks in advance!

To reattach a separate label to your combo:
1. Cut the label (to the clipboard.)
2. Select the combo.
3. Paste.
