Definition

This attribute controls how the screen element behaves when the user changes the window size manually. It cannot be set dynamically in the program.

Effect

The attribute affects table controls, tab controls and subscreens.
The following description applies to the effect of the attribute in tablecontrols. The same principle applies to tab controls and subscreens

Attribute is set:

  • The space between the right-hand edge of the table control and the right-hand edge of the window stays constant if the window is resized manually. Fields on the right of the table always remain visible. The spatial relationship between the fields and the table always remains constant.
  • If the window is made smalled, the columns of the table are hidden, one-by-one starting on the right. Since all screen elements remain visible down to a minimum size, the screen does not acquire a scrollbar as it becomes smaller. If the window is enlarged, a corresponding number of extra fields are displayed at the right-hand end of the table (but see the restriction in the note below).

Attribute is not set:

  • There is no fixed distance between the edge of the table and the edge of the window. When the window is made smaller, fields are scrolled out of the view area. Fields to the right of the table may become invisible as the window size is reduced. The window acquires a scrollbar. If the window is enlarged vertically, table columns to the right of the current view area become visible. The maximum number of columns that can be displayed is the maximum number defined in the Screen Painter.

Use

You should always set the attribute if your screen contains pushbuttons for table operations positioned to the right of the table.
