Great work Tobias! You made it look easy.

One more suggestion. Remove the colon from the label, or make it an option.

Since you are deriving the font properties from the model, that should be
fine. It would also be very helpful to display the labels at design time, so
that the designer can see how to move things around for design purposes. The
IB_Grid is already like that, in that if the dataset is prepared, you can
see the labels.

As far as not seeing anything until it is prepared, I guess We'll just have
to live with that.

There seems to be a slight problem with the RelativePosition property. A
large negative number is required. I would suggest that this be a positive
number, and should be the spacing from the IB_Edit.

This is really a great enhancement to IBO, and one that I have been desiring
for a long time. After this is perfected, maybe it should be added to the
other components, such as IB_LookupCombo?
