I've just used this textbox function to display some information to the user, with the same "look" as the label field. The reason for why i'm jusing the textbox object and not the label is that the textbox object can hold much more text.

So if you're gonna show a lot of text to the user just as an information then the textbox with the "label" apperance is a good way to do this (at least that's my opinon), it also cleans up the form apperance i think.

What i've used this for in Kix is showing legal information to the user in the login form. This information is an total of 346 characters. I tried to put all this into the label object but it would only show the 2 first lines of text.
So I had to use 4 seperate label fields placed alongside each other to solve this.
If some one has any other way to do this then please tell me.

I'm not shure if this was the answer you were looking for Shawn but i've tried to explain how i've used it before.
