Use horizontal or rectangular alignments only if they greatly improve the layout of the window.<br>* If certain controls in a configuration dialog are only relevant if a certainxxx is checked (i.e. they are dependent controls), disable them instead of hiding.<br><br>* Do not separate xxx and label. Clicking on both the box and the label should toggle the option.<br>* Do not add line breaks. If necessary place an additional label below the check box.<br>* Label xxxx with a descriptive caption to the top left of the group (cf. [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Form_Label_Alignment| alignment]]).<br>* Create a buddy relation so access keys are assigned.<br>* Use [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization|sentence style capitalization]] for check box items.<br>* Do not use ending punctuation (neither dot nor colon) for group label.<br><br></body></html>
