Usage of Properties

Not all properties can be used for every type of labels (see the LabelType property). The following table shows the usage of properties for labels of different types. If you access a property that is not supported, the exception with the error code GDB_E_INAPPROPRIATE_LABEL_TYPE is triggered.

* The Orientation property supports read access for all types of labels and the sign «-» denotes the prohibition to write this property. The orientation is always gdbLtOrientationLeftToRight in this case.
