That's good for my needs, thanks :) Just considering that, on my
opinion, the ability of defining VERTICAL position on left labels and
LEFT position on top labels is much more rare than having to change
left distance in left labels and top distance in top labels, so
"margin" property is not good implemented. I think that 99% of control
users have to do what I do, and just 1% will take some advantage from
your design, but at this point you should make live easier to 99% and
let that 1% use distinct label controls...
Anyway, thanks for AutoLabel addition, it's really RAD :)
Just a humble read suggestion: go to www.cooper.com and, if you can,
buy his books. You will discover a new world in program design, be
sure :)
