dataName

If you specify a data element to which the widget is bound in the dataName property, the name of the data element is used as the text that is displayed on the label. If you do not specify a data element to which the data is bound in the dataName property, the value that you assign in the text property is used as the text that is displayed on the label.

text

The text property is the text that is displayed on the label for a user if a value has not been assigned for the dataName property. This is an optional property. You can input text directly on the editing area, or use NLS elements: see Using NLS elements. Direct input can only display one single line, while NLS enables you to input multiple lines by escape character. For more information about NLS, see NLS support.
