There are three new ApexLib hints called
If you set such a hint, the ApexLib Framework will automatically generate the necessary code for the browser and will also make sure that the values are stored with the correct case restriction when the page is submitted.

Lalitha,
you can set set multiple ApexLib hints, just add multiple of them into the comment text.
About the required: That's also automatically detected if you use a label template which is named "...Required". You don't have to use a hint.
