Responsive layout limitations

Limitations Inherent in a Responsive Layout

The following parameters and properties cannot be changed in a responsive layout:

• The values defined for responsive layout breakpoints cannot be changed.That is, the transition screen widths between layout sizes (extra small, small, medium, etc.) are fixed.

• The AspectRatio property is not supported for panes within a responsive layout.

• The DisplayMode property will not have any effect if a responsive layout is placed as the content of a pane in another layout.

  • Width: The responsive layout will occupy the full width of the pane in which it is placed.

  • Height: If the height of the responsive layout exceeds the height of the pane in which it is placed, a vertical scroll bar will appear.

• When a responsive layout is placed as the content of a pane in a fixed layout, the width of the fixed pane (NOT the width of the fixed layout) determines which breakpoint (screen size) the responsive layout will use. For example, consider a fixed layout that is 1280 pixels wide. It contains a pane that is 640 pixels wide that holds a responsive layout. In this case, the responsive layout uses the extra small (mobile) breakpoint, since the extra small size allows a layout up to 767 pixels wide. The overall size of the fixed layout is ignored.
