Comments

The Position property defines the caption's position.

The size of the caption area is determined by the SizePercent and the AutoSize properties.

The caption area can be hidden by setting the Position property to positionSftMaskLeft or positionSftMaskRight and the Caption.SizePercent property to 0.

The caption area position and size are defined using a combination of the Caption.SizePercent or Caption.Width, Caption.Position and AutoSize properties. For a detailed description of the various combinations, please see the chapter Built-In Caption.
