Caption - specifies the caption text.
Position - specifies the position of a caption related to the editor.
HorizontalAlign, VerticalAlign - specify the horizontal and vertical alignment of a caption.
ShowColon - specifies whether the colon sign is displayed after caption text.
RequiredMark - specifies the text displayed after a caption when the editor value is required.
OptionalMark - specifies the text displayed after a caption when the editor value is optional.
RequiredMarkDisplayMode - specifies which mark should be displayed after a caption. This property can be set to the following values.
- Optional. The optional mark is displayed after a caption.
- Required. The Required mark is displayed after a caption.
- Hidden. Neither the optional mark nor the required mark is displayed after a caption.
- Auto. If the IsRequired property is set to true, the required mark is displayed after a caption.
