Allow Pipe Network Structure Labels to "know" TYPE of structure

[doni49]

When labeling my pipe network, EVERY structure is treated the same.  I want to use the same label style for all the structures and let the style decide "what to do".

For example: 

• An inlet has a GRATE ELEVATION not a rim.  So if the structure is an Inlet, the labe should say "GR:  " not "RIM:  ".
• A headwall has one (or more) pipe with an invert.  But there is no "rim" elevation.  There is no SUMP either -- although if the pipe invert is above the ground line at exit, that could be considered the SUMP.  But C3D insisted on showing the RIM and SUMP for my HW -- UNTIL I made a new style just for headwall labels.

I've been thinking about this some more.  The structure's properties should include Booleans:

• RIM
• GRATE
• SUMP

Then the label style could include tests that ID what to include in the displayed label.

if (RIM, "RIM:  " + <RimElevation>)

If (GRATE, "GR:  " + <GrateElevation>)

if (SUMP< "SUMP:  " + <SumpElevation>)

Then when I place my headwall, I'd set it's properties to RIM = FALSE, GRATE = FALSE, SUMP = FALSE (thus making the label show only the structure name and the pipe invert.

When I place a manhole, I'd set its properties to RIM = TRUE, GRATE = FALSE, SUMP = TRUE.

When I place a yard inlet, I'd set it's properties to RIM = FALSE, GRATE = TRUE, SUMP = TRUE.

When I place a CURB INLET (which has a manhole cover on top AND an GRATE elevation), I'd set all three Booleans to TRUE.
