Use the Caption property to get the editor's caption. Use the Value property to get the editor's value. The Caption property of the editor may be different than the Value property like follows. For instance, if we have a DropDownListType editor, the Caption property gets the caption of the item being selected, and the Value property gets a long expression that identifies the value of the item. The Label property gets the editor's label. Use the FindItem property to find an item based on its value.

The following VB sample prints the label, caption and the value of the editor from the cursor:

Private Sub Record1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Dim e As EXRECORDLibCtl.Editor
    Set e = Record1.EditorFromPoint(X / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, Y / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY)
    If Not e Is Nothing Then
        Debug.Print "Label: " & e.Label & " Caption: """ & e.Caption & """ Value: " & e.Value
    End If
End Sub

The following VC sample prints the label, caption and the value of the editor from the cursor:

void OnMouseMoveRecord1(short Button, short Shift, long X, long Y) 
{
	CEditor editor = m_record.GetEditorFromPoint( X, Y );
	if ( editor.m_lpDispatch != NULL )
	{
		TCHAR szOutput[1024];
		wsprintf( szOutput, "Label: %s Caption: \"%s\" Value: %s\n", (LPCTSTR)editor.GetLabel(), (LPCTSTR)editor.GetCaption(), (LPCTSTR)V2S( &editor.GetValue() ) );
		OutputDebugString( szOutput );
	}
}
