ASP.NET: Caption for Text Editors (v14.1 release)

Check out the new Caption property that saves you time from adding extra label controls:

The new Caption property, in the v14.1 release, lets you set the editor's prompt text for the DevExpress ASP.NET Text Editors. And it's most helpful to use this property when you need to align the controls in a toolbar style layout.

In the image above, we've used the new Caption property to align a label and combo box controls inside of our Reports toolbar. Using this new approach, we can align them easily without any additional markup.

Customize Caption Appearance

You can use the following properties to customize the appearance of the caption:

• Position – specifies the position of a caption related to the editor.
• HorizontalAlign, VerticalAlign – specify the horizontal and vertical alignment of a caption.
• ShowColon – specifies whether the colon sign is displayed after caption text.
• RequiredMark – specifies text displayed after a caption when the editor value is required.
• OptionalMark – specifies text displayed after a caption when the editor value is optional.
• RequiredMarkDisplayMode – specifies which mark should be displayed after a caption.

If you have a form then I recommend using the DevExpress ASP.NET Form Layout control that helps you create forms within minutes:
