Label Position property

This documentation is valid for:
GeneXus 18 Help
GeneXus 17 Help
GeneXus 16 Help
GeneXus 15 Help

The Label Position property is available for every attribute and variable defined in a form and it is used by the developer to indicate where the label will be positioned.
Its possible values are displayed in the Abstract Layout as WYSIWYG.

Values

Value	Description	Run-time effect
Platform Default	Default value in all GeneXus editions but GeneXus for SAP Systems The position of the label adopts the default position on each platform (top for Android, left for iOS).	Android
		iOS
None	The label will not be displayed. Note: The value displayed is the Invite Message property, but no label is displayed.	Android
		iOS
Left	The label will be displayed on the left side of the attribute/variable content.	Android
		iOS
Right	The label will be displayed on the right side of the attribute/variable content.	Android
		iOS
Top	The label will be displayed on the top side of the attribute/variable content.	Android
		iOS
Bottom	The label will be displayed on the bottom side of the attribute/variable content.	Android
		iOS
Float	Default value in GeneXus for SAP Systems. The label will be displayed once the end user starts writing as if it were floating from the bottom to the top of the attribute/variable content.	Android
		iOS

Note

The Float value is available as of GeneXus 15 Upgrade 4.
Some considerations:
- It only applies for Character or Numeric based attributes/variables. Another data types (such as Image, Audio, etc) will behave as its value would have been Top.
- On Android, the value of the invite message and the label must be the same; otherwise, the label adopts the value of the invite message.
As of GeneXus 15 Upgrade 4 the default value of this property can be changed at the Pattern settings of the Work With for Smart Devices Pattern.
For web environments, so far only the options "None" and "Left" are supported.

Scope

Objects	Panel for Smart Devices, Work With for Smart Devices
