Default Caption for Text Box

Is there a way to add a caption to the defined fileds for a text box?
In Properties Display caption is grayed out forcing me to create a label
that has to follow it around and another thing to have to tediously move
around in the tab order.

(Is there a better way to set tab order? than the Layout Tab order?)

Default Caption for Text Box

If you want a caption for a text box, you'll need a label control.

Most people find it easier to set the tab order in the Tab Order dialog rather than set the TabIndex property on each control's Advanced Properties dialog.
