    /// ability to label a control -- called the "target" herein -- thus providing information 
    /// to the application user about the target.  The labeling is done through both 
    /// the actual text of the Label control and through information surfaced through 
    /// the UIAutomation API.  The second function of the Label control is to provide 
    /// mnemonics support -- both functional and visual -- the target.  For example, the 
    /// TextBox has no way of displaying additional information outside of its content.  
    /// A Label control could help solve this problem.  Note, the Label control is 
    /// frequently used in dialogs to allow quick keyboard access to controls in the dialog.
