Documentation
Definition
The visible length is the length in which the field is displayed on the screen at runtime.
You can only change the visible length of a screen field in certain cases.
- Input/Output field with the "scrollable" attribute.
- You can set the visible length attribute to less than the defined length. The user can scroll within the field at runtime.
- Input/Output field with the "dropdown box" attribute.
- The visible length attribute determines the length of the field (including the dropdown button) and, at the same time, the width of the expanded selection list.
- Pushbuttons
- The visible length attribute determines the width of the pushbutton.
For text fields with no icon, the defined length and visible length are the same.
If there is an icon assigned to the screen field, its width affects how the field is displayed at runtime and its visible length, which is made up as follows:
. The width of the icon in characters (at least two),
. One character space (if the field has text as well as the icon)
. The actual text in the field.
The quick info text has no affect on the visible length of the field.
