Syntax Definition (VB 6.0)

While reviewing someone else's code, I came across this line:

treeSearchStart:

This line obviously refers to a tree view control. But what does the :
represent?

Thanks in advance.

The line is a label which can be the target of a Goto, On Error Goto,
Resume, On/Goto or On/Gosub statement

the text 'treeSearchStart' doesn't really mean anything, it's just a unique
label within the procedure

If somecondition Then Goto treeSearchStart
msgbox "can't do it"
exit sub

treeSearchStart:
msgbox "starting search"
