This feature introduces Attached Labels for most controls added to Forms. When dragging controls onto the Form, a Label is automatically attached to the control. This saves time, supports design consistency, and improves accessibility by eliminating the need to manually add a separate Label control. Label placement and formatting options are configurable directly within the control’s Properties panel.
Feature Details
When dragging controls onto the Form the Quick Add dialog shows a Label field alongside the Data Name field. The Label field auto-fills using Data Name, tab over to change name if desired.
Keyboard Shortcuts:
- Enter = Saves as Top label
- Shift + Enter = Saves as Left label
If the Label Text is cleared or the Show Label property is set to False, the Label disappears and the control expands to full height/width of the grid cell or layout it was placed on.
