label String|Function|Object (default: null)

Adds a label before the input. If the input has no id attribute, a generated id will be assigned. The string and the function parameters are setting the inner HTML of the label.

Example - create a label from a string

<input id="multicolumncombobox" />
<script>
$("#multicolumncombobox").kendoMultiColumnComboBox({
  dataSource: [
    { id: 1, name: "Apples" },
    { id: 2, name: "Oranges" }
  ],
  dataTextField: "name",
  label: "Fruits"
});
</script>

The function context (available through the keyword this) will be set to the widget instance.

Example - create a label from a function

<input id="multicolumncombobox" />
<script>
$("#multicolumncombobox").kendoMultiColumnComboBox({
  dataSource: [
    { id: 1, name: "Apples" },
    { id: 2, name: "Oranges" }
  ],
  dataTextField: "name",
  label: function() {
      return "Fruits";
  }
});
</script>
