Group Heading (Label Type)

Provide a group heading for each tab group that consists of multiple controls.

Use a group heading to visually distinguish and name a group of related fields.

Place a group heading above each group of fields.

Visually indicate which items are associated with the heading. If the operating environment supports different weights of type, use bolder type for the group heading, and align the fields under the heading. Otherwise, indent the fields in each group under their associated group heading or use a group box.

Left-align group headings vertically with the left edge of other group headings. For information on bidirectional and vertical language support, see Chapter 11.

If a group heading appears in a window that can be scrolled horizontally, scroll the heading with the group it identifies.

If a group heading appears in a window that can be scrolled vertically, scroll the heading with the group it identifies. If this is not the desired behavior, consider using a column heading instead.
