Align Labels Relatively to Editors
The Form UI component displays labels on the left side of their editors and aligns them to the left. Use the labelLocation property to relocate all labels or the label.location property to relocate individual labels. To align labels horizontally, set the label.alignment property.
- <dx-form
- [(formData)]="employee"
- labelLocation="top"> <!-- or "left" | "right" -->
- <dxi-item dataField="firstName"></dxi-item>
- <dxi-item dataField="lastName"></dxi-item>
- <dxi-item dataField="phone">
- <dxo-label
- location="left"
- alignment="right"> <!-- or "left" | "center" -->
- </dxo-label>
- </dxi-item>
- </dx-form>
- import { DxFormModule } from "devextreme-angular";
- // ...
- export class AppComponent {
- employee = {
- firstName: "John",
- lastName: "Heart",
- phone: "+1(360)684-1334"
- }
- }
- @NgModule({
- imports: [
- // ...
- DxFormModule
- ],
- // ...
- })
If a label's position is left or right, the label's vertical alignment depends on the control type:
Control Type | Default Vertical Alignment |
---|---|
Single-line editors | Middle |
Multi-line editors and bigger controls | Top |
The code below changes the default vertical alignment for a label to the middle:
- .dx-label-h-align {
- align-items: center;
- }
Align Editors Relatively to Each Other
By default, the UI component aligns all editors of all simple items in straight columns. To disable alignment, assign false to:
- alignItemLabels - for all root simple items;
- alignItemLabelsInAllGroups - for all simple items nested in all groups;
- Group Item.alignItemLabels - for simple items nested in a specific group;
- Tabbed Item.tabs[].alignItemLabels - for simple items nested in a specific tab.
- <dx-form
- [(formData)]="employee"
- [alignItemLabels]="false"
- [alignItemLabelsInAllGroups]="false">
- <dxi-item dataField="firstName"></dxi-item>
- <dxi-item dataField="lastName"></dxi-item>
- <dxi-item itemType="group"
- caption="Contacts"
- [items]="['phone', 'email']">
- </dxi-item>
- <dxi-item itemType="group"
- caption="Misc Data"
- [items]="['position', 'city']">
- </dxi-item>
- </dx-form>
- import { DxFormModule } from "devextreme-angular";
- // ...
- export class AppComponent {
- employee = {
- firstName: "John",
- lastName: "Heart",
- hireDate: new Date(2012, 4, 13),
- city: "Los Angeles",
- position: "CEO",
- phone: "+1(213) 555-9392",
- email: "jheart@dx-email.com"
- }
- }
- @NgModule({
- imports: [
- // ...
- DxFormModule
- ],
- // ...
- })
