Comments

Stretchable Text - normal text with the Text Style->Stretch To Fit option turned on by default. The text  will stretch automatically to fit the user defined bounding box.

Autofit Text - normal text with the Text Style->Strech To Fit option turned on and Resize Variable Data set to Fit Into Bounding Box. This cause the text (e.g. variable text from the database) to always fit into the user defined bounding box, regardless of the data length. For text that is very long, its font will be automatically reduced.

Linked Field (Text) - equivalent to a Text object with Datasource set to Linked Field

Linked Field (Barcode) - equivalent to a Barcode object with Datasource set to Linked Field. 

International Text - use this object for international languages text support. For example, you can cut and paste chinese/japanese etc. text into this object to be displayed in SmartCodeStudio. Or alternatively read the international text from database. This is always the preferred object for International Text support in SmartCodeStudio.
