Is it possible to change the caption position of a control, from TOP to the LEFT? At the moment we only have TOP or NONE. I have a design layout that looks like this:
One of the way that I can think of to achieve this is to set the field caption to none and then create separate label for the field:
There are quite a few controls on this page so having double the controls seems like a lot of duplication. Is there a better way to achieve this?
Another idea to consider (for different uses of the field in your application), is you can define different Visualizations for the field in your repository.
Then when you need to include the field in a view/dialog/etc. if you click the arrow to expand the field you can select which visualization to drag to the editor. I have used this for certain numeric fields where I want the MD date or spin edit to show for general use, but I will just use the simple visual edit in my "backend/admin" application.
