`CaptionPositions` is a layout extension add-on for Vaadin 7 and Vaadin 8. It allows you to position the caption element of individual components inside `VerticalLayout` or `HorizontalLayout` to be either “top”, “right”, “bottom” or ”left”. It keeps any extra caption decorations (such as required field or error indicators) together with the caption (unline `FormLayout` for example, which moves the error indicator after the field). *Disclaimer: I’ve only tested the add-on with Vaadin 7.7.6 and 8.0.0-beta1. It should work with any Vaadin 7 or 8 version, but please let me know if it doesn’t.* **Code example:** ``` TextField input = new TextField("Caption"); VerticalLayout layout = new VerticalLayout(); layout.addComponent(input); // Position the text input caption on the left side CaptionPositions captionPositions = new CaptionPositions(layout); captionPositions.setCaptionPosition(input, CaptionPosition.LEFT); ```
