LABELPOS is a parameter of the PLACEMENT command that specifies exact placement of a property’s name (or label) on a diagram, symbol, or definition dialog. The LABELPOS command has two arguments:
•the horizontal position (from the top of the dialog) in Windows units, and
•the vertical position (from the left of the dialog) in Windows units.
In the following example, LABELPOS and PROPPOS have the same y coordinate (24). This means that the tops of their letters will both be 24 units from the top of the dialog: the label will be to the left of the control (not over it).
The difference between the PROPPOS x coordinate and the LABELPOS x coordinate (20 - 4 = 16) leaves plenty of room (16 -10 = 6 units) for the 10-character label name, which is “Table Name”, because it has to go to the left of the starting point of the property control’s starting position.
