Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	true, to show layout item captions; otherwise, false.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

If the ShowCaption property value is set to “Default” and the item doesn’t belong to a tabbed group, the layout item caption will be shown. If the layout item belongs to a tabbed group, the caption will be hidden and displayed only within the owning tab.
