Control Properties - Display Tab

This tab is used with all controls other than Text Editor, to define the label text and format of the control, and to determine exactly where in the component the control is displayed.

Use the Appearance section to configure the exact "look" of the control and its label.

Use the Layout section to configure where the control is placed, its size and its tabbing order, if needed.
