TcxCustomGroupBox.Alignment Property

Specifies the caption text position.

Declaration

property Alignment: TcxCaptionAlignment read; write; default alTopLeft;

Property Value

Type	Default
TcxCaptionAlignment	alTopLeft

Remarks

Use the Alignment property to change the position of the group box’s caption text. The caption can be placed on any border and aligned within it. Additionally, the control’s caption can be placed in the center of its client area. This allows you to use the group box as a substitute for a panel control.

If the group box is painted in the native style (the Style.LookAndFeel.NativeStyle property is set to True), the caption text cannot be placed onto the right or left border and will be displayed on the top border instead.

The table below lists the values available for the Alignment property.
