I checked TextField, TextArea and Label, all have .Value to get its contents as String.
Well it all depends what the String value is entered on those TextField, TextArea and Label controls
Anyway, .Value seems really fair and it fits really well in my opinion even it unifies the way to access the contents on these and other class instances
That might not have have fit with the API 2 drive to name many things similarly
Otherwise we’d need stringValue for textarea & textfield, booleanValue for checkboxes(maybe), and I dont know what for others

Correct. It would still be consistent as per say, but abundantly clear.
