Users interact with the following text controls:
A label displays data, but does not allow the user to change
it. In some environments, a label might be called a static text field,
read-only message, or a read-only text field. An example of a label would be

A text-entry field, sometimes known as a "text field" or
"entry field," is an area where the user enters alphanumeric text within
a specific boundary. The user can type one or more lines in a text-entry
field, depending upon the information that the object or application needs.
Multiline text can have both horizontal and vertical scroll bars for moving
the text up, down, and across the field..
