Property

Description

Name

Name that identifies the control. This value is also used for the label of the control.

XML Node

Appearance

Property

Description

Visible

Show or hide the control.

  • Select Yes to show the control.

  • Select No to hide the control.

    The default value is Yes.

Note: If the value is No, then the child controls will be hidden even when the Visible property for the child controls is set to Yes.

Label Position

Position of the label for the child control.

  • Select Default to allow the system to align the label for the child control. The system aligns the label to the left of the child control.

  • Select Left to align the label to the left of the child control.

  • Select Top to align the label to the top of the child control.

  • Select Right to align the label to the right of the child control.

  • Select Bottom to align the label to the bottom of the child control.

  • Select Suppress to hide the label for the child control.

    The default value is Default.

Note:
- This property is applicable only if the Label Position property for the child control is set to Default.
- For example, if the Label Position property for the child control is set to Default and the Label Position property for the Panel Form is set to Top, then the label for the child control is aligned to the top of the child control.

Label-Control Area

Area occupied by the label and the control in percentage.

  • Select Default to allow the system to set the label and the control areas.

  • Select Custom to specify the label area. The control area is automatically set based on the label area.

    The default value is Default.

Note:
- If the value is Default and the control is placed on a container control, then the value of the Label-Control Area property of the container control determines the area of the label for the control.
- This is applicable only when the Label Position is set to Left or Right.

Width

Width in pixels for the control.

The default value is 0.

Note: If the value is 0, then the width of the control is set as per the default values.

Height

Height in pixels for the control.

The default value is 0.

Note: If the value is 0, then the height of the control is set as per the default values.

Consider Available Height

Resize the height of the control or container based on the available height.

  • Select Yes to resize the height based on available height.

  • Select No to retain the space.

    The default value is No.

Note:
- The Consider Available Height property is not applicable for the following:
-Designer view
-Print form
-Panel form with horizontal tab order
- If this property is set to Yes and a value is specified in the Height property, minimum height is considered.
- This property is applicable only in web view.
- When more than one control or container is set with Consider Available Height at the same level of container or form, then the available space is distributed evenly between those controls or containers.
For example, consider a Form which contains two Panel forms with Consider Available Height set to Yes, where Panel form 1 has two TextInput controls and Panel form 2 has one TextInput control. The Panel form 1’s height is more than Panel form 2’s height as Panel form 1 contains two TextInput controls and the available empty space in the form is evenly distributed between the two Panel forms.

Retain Space

Reserve or remove space when the control is hidden.

  • Select Yes to keep space when the control is hidden.

  • Select No to remove space when the control is hidden.

    The default value is No.

Show Panel Details

Show or hide the title, description, and margin for the control.

  • Select Yes to show the title, description, and margin for the control.

  • Select No to hide the title, description, and margin for the control.

    The default value is Yes.

Columns

Number of columns for the control.

Enter a value from 1 to 10.

Note:
- Decreasing the number of columns will delete that many last columns with all its controls. For example, decreasing the number of columns from 5 to 3 would delete the last 2 columns with all its controls.
- The columns with its controls deleted cannot be restored.

Tab Order

Tab order for the child controls.

  • Select Horizontal to set the tab order one after the other for the child controls.

  • Select Vertical to set the tab order one below the other for the child controls.

    The default value is Vertical.

  • Select No to deny the system to change the user interface of the control based on the display width. In this case, the Web View is rendered for the control.
