c++ - I need a text field or "Label vs TextField" -

i develop game cocos2d-x rc1 , need text field show score of player. 1 use cocos2d::label or textfield defined in cocos/ui/uitextfield.cpp ? difference? example, have noticed label has enableshadow, textfield misses.

don't use textfield mere output field. (jeff johnson: "gui bloopers", blooper #17.)

text fields meant input. fact can active or passive doesn't mean should used in always-passive mode output. display result, use label indicating following value is, , label value itself.

score:  42 

later 1 reason inactive textfield typically has appearance dampens visibility, being grayed out. 1 border surrounding textfield identifies place data can entered, if not now, other time; , bound irritate users trained observe such niceties - , there are, me 4 1 ;-)
