Check box

The text that’s linked to the check box group. If the check box does not appear in a check box group, or if there’s no caption for the check box group, the caption is the text for the individual check box.

The text appearing on the button face or switch. The Caption property has no effect on a button or visual switch with a picture.

The text that’s linked to the radio button group. If there’s no caption for the radio button group, the caption is the prompt for the individual radio button.


If you make a caption longer than the existing caption, keep in mind that you may need to resize or rearrange fields to view the entire caption.
