Use

You use this function to maintain the attributes of tabstrip controls in the Screen Painter.

Features

To change the attributes for tabstrip controls, in the graphical Layout Editor of the Screen Painter, double-click on the tabstrip control. In the Attributes group box, you can set the following attributes:

Attribute Description

Tab Title

Number of tab titles in the tabstrip control. In the Graphical Layout Editor, the field texts <field 1> to <field #> are preassigned.

Resizing (Vertical/Horizontal)

This attribute indicates that the size of the tabstrip changes when you change the height (vertical resizing) or the width (horizontal resizing) of the window. Set this attribute if you want the tabstrip control always to be proportional to the size of the screen.

Min. Lines

This attribute specifies the minimum number of lines that can be displayed when you resize the tabstrip vertically. This is the height of the largest subscreen area in the tabstrip control

Min. Columns

This attribute specifies the minimum number of columns that can be displayed when you resize the tabstrip horizontally. This is the width of the largest subscreen area in the tabstrip control

Note

Choose the values carefully to prevent the bottom edge of the tabstrip control from moving up or down when you choose a new tab page.

Note

If the screen contains a variable step loop, vertical resizing is not available.
