Remarks

You can set a value from the EditFormColumnCaptionLocation enumeration to the CaptionLocation property to specify the editor’s caption location. The EditFormColumnCaptionLocation enumeration provides you with the following values:

Default and Near — A caption is located on the left side of an editor in a left-to-right layout. In a right-to-left layout, the near position is right.
Top — A caption is located above the editor.
None — A caption is not displayed.

If you use the Top value, ensure that an editor spans a minimum of two layout rows within an Edit Form. To specify the number of layout rows an editor spans, use the OptionsColumnEditForm.RowSpan property.
