Label for pageBlockTable - seems simple?
Hi all, kind of odd - I have a pageBlockTable with some columns. If I use the standard column definition:
<apex:column value="{!p.End_Date__c}"/>
Then all is well and my header has the End Date label, etc etc. All good.
Now I want to use an explicit field definition in the column - ie
<apex:column headerValue="Start Date">
<apex:outputField value="{!p.Start_Date__c}">
<apex:inlineEditSupport disabled="true" />
</apex:outputField>
</apex:column>
The issue is, I have to hard code the label for the col in the headerValue. I should be able to use a variable for this, surely? I've tried using {!p.Start_Date__c} in the headerValue also but doesn't work, I need a 'label for' type definition for the field, so I can get the label for that field without hard coding. Thought something like $componentLabel but can't get this to work either.
Seems so simple, but I'm stumped! Anyone got an idea??
Thanks, S
Its possible with accessing $ObjectType global variable in visualforce page.
For dynamically accessing Account Name's Label you need to use example like following inside your value :
With above you can directly retrieve the Label of field from object and best part is it changes with Field's Label change dynamically. :)

Thanks Rahul! Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks also Chamil, but was trying to do this without needing to resort to a describe in Apex, since there is a limit to the number of those.
Thanks,
