MultiPane

Use

The MultiPane UI element is used to order the contents in the form of a grid, similar to the MatrixLayout, but with the difference that the dataSource is bound against a context node.

Note

Complex UI elements such as Table, Tree, GAC*, ViewContiner, InteractiveForm, Gantt, Network, Group, and Tray are not supported. The Table UI element should be used for single-line tabular data.

Example of the Visual Display

Note

To enable the development of accessible applications, the properties accessbilityDescription and tooltip are checked during the syntax check.

The new paginator

As of Release 7.31 the pager in UI element MultiPane has been replaced with a new paginator.
