Definition

A SectionHeader is used to display a section header in a form, that is placed inside a TransparentContainer. SectionHeader allows you to standardize the headers and the header levels of all sections of the user interface.

Description of UI Element Properties
  • isDragHandle

    Determines if this caption can be used as a drag handle for runtime authoring. The innermost surrounding layout cell that is enabled to act as a drag source can then be grabbed by this handle. More information: Implementing Drag and Drop

  • level

    Describes the level of the SectionHeader. The SectionHeader is designed for headings on a detailed level of a screen. The higher levels (header 1 to 3) are therefore reserved for things like page headers or tab headers. level is represented by enumeration type WDSectionHeaderLevel and can take the following values:

    header4

    Used normally for a first main group in the application. A form with a section header with level 4 should contain other section headers with level 5 and 6 or other grouping containers, like tray.

    header5

    Used normally for a second main group in the application. A form with a section header with level 5 should contain other section headers with level 6 or other grouping containers, like tray.

    header6

    Used normally for lowest header level in forms. A form with a section header with level 6 should not contain other section headers or other grouping containers, like tray.

  • text

    Determines the labeling of the SectionHeader.

  • textDirection

    textDirection enables the labels for the SectionHeader to be read in other languages that require a specific text direction. textDirection can take the following values and is represented by the enumeration type WDTextDirection.

    inherit

    The text direction is inherited from the parent element. The text direction is therefore identical to the text direction for the parent element.

    ltr

    The text runs from left to right.

    rtl

    The text runs from right to left.

    The default value for this property is inherit.
