I have a TDBRadioGroup that I've added to my form.
I'd really like to have the caption to the left of it instead of on top (the form's a little busy and tall, and I'm trying to squeeze it in).
I can add my own label to the left of the Radio Group. But the control insists on reserving space of a Caption that does not exists. Is there a way I can turn it off completely?
The best we've come up with so far is sticking it on a TPanel and then hiding the top couple lines off-panel.
A TGroupBox (and it's descendant TDBGroupBox) are basically wrappers around the Windows GroupBox. The control is designed to sport a user-defined label across the upper-left corner, and doesn't have any style setting to remove it.
So, short of creating your own control to host a series of TRadioButton controls yourself and display them, there's no built-in way to disable the space reserved for the caption. You can suppress the text, of course, by setting the Caption := '', but the padding for the text descenders is not removed simply because the caption isn't displayed.
