Nope, you can't change the properties of graphic objects. However, like most forms limitations, there is a way around this one.
1. In the Layout Editor, create a Display Item, make it
long enough to hold the longest text string you will
ever use as a label.
2. Place it where the frame label would normally be.
3. Set its background color to match your canvas, its
bevel property to NONE.
You now can change the 'label' text by just changing
the value of the display item like:
:block1.frame_title_display_item := 'Hello ' || USER;
Hope this helps,
Paul
