Definition

Specifies the column letter of the upper-left corner of a form element in a form grid.

A form element can be a UI element (with or without a label), a button, or a button row.

Use

The position of a form element on a form grid is specified by the start (upper-left corner) and end (bottom-right corner) coordinates. For standard elements, this attribute always refers to the column letter of the WD UI element and not to the column letter of its accompanying label.

If a UI element has no label, the default letter of the start column of the UI element is A in the following circumstances:

  • 16/1 form layout
  • 16/2 form layout (for the first form column)
  • 8/1 form layout

However, if the UI element is a standard element with an accompanying label, the default letter of the start column is D.

In the second form column of a 16/2 form layout, the default letter of the start column is I (for a UI element without a label) and L (for a UI element with a label).
