If you do this:

B4X:

Label1.Text = "Hello"

It will overwrite whatever had before, can you post your code to see what are you doing?

Are you adding the label to a panel or initializing it in the same event?

I tried

B4X:

Label1.Text = "        "

but it still garbled the text!

What I discovered is that in the Designer, I had added the text of the label in the .Text property. Then when trying to dynamically change the .Text in code, the original text would remain on the screen while the dynamic code over wrote it but didn't actually remove it!! Strange!

When I removed the .Text string in the Designer, and left it blank, the dynamic code changes to the .Text property displayed cleanly as it should and as one would expect.

I don't understand why having a text string in the Designer label .Text field would mess this up later when changing it programatically, but it did and once I removed it, the code was able to change the text field cleanly.

Where are you calling the LoadLayout? It probably has something to do with this.

You must load the layout only once.
In your case you have all views twice.
When a layout is loaded all views are added to the existing ones these are not removed automatically.

Best regards.

See this page in the Documentation Wiki regarding what belongs in _Create and what belongs in _Resume.

As a general rule, all that belongs in _Resume are Timers, etc., which you turned off in _Pause. The reason is explained in the Wiki.

Thanks...that's probably what is causing my issue. I'll read that link again.
