Description Christoph Thommen CLA 2011-11-09 04:54:27 EST 
There should be a possibility to position the label of a field on top of it.

Example see internal ticket.

Actually the only possibility is to add a separate LabelField. If doing so, mandatory validation (marking mandatory fields with a *, displaying Error Message,...) has to be done by hand.

Comment 3 Claudio Guglielmo CLA 2011-12-09 09:52:11 EST 
Change request implemented on trunk (3.8.0) for Swing and SWT.

To move a label to the top of the field, set the property LabelPosition of a form field to IFormField.LABEL_POSITION_TOP. To control the horizontal alignment of the label you can use the property LabelHorizontalAlignment. So if your labels are aligned right as default you probably want to set the horizontal alignment of your top label to -1 so that it will be placed on the top left of your field.
