This attribute only works if the control is in a group whose GroupControls attribute is "True". NOTE: This attribute must usually be set to true if you want the ensure the label is to the left of a certain control. See the Label Controls article for details.
Caption
The Caption attribute defines the text to be displayed.
Key

Remarks
The Label element defines a label control that will appear on the ribbon. The label's only job is to display text, and it can be useful for labeling other controls that do not support captions.
