Documentation

Definition

The visible (visualized) length is that length displayed at runtime of the screen.

If a template (input/output field) has the attribute "Scrollable", the visible length can be changed. You can set it to less than the defined length. During runtime you can scroll within the field.

For key fields (texts), the visible and defined lengths are identical, unless you assign icons to them.

You can use the attribute "Visible length" to influence the width of a pushbutton.

If you assign icons to screen fields, their width affect the representation at runtime and therefore also the visible length, which is a combination of

• the width of the icon in characters (minimum two characters)
• one character for spacing if the field has both icon and text
• the actual field text

The quick info text does not influence the visible length.
