Properties in View Designer

  • isLayoutContainer

    Specifies whether the TransparentContainer functions as a layout container.

    Note Note

    If isLayout=true, the defaultButton does not work. This is checked in the development environment. defaultButtons can only be used if TransparentContainer.isLayoutContainer=false.

    End of the note.

    • isLayoutContainer=true:

      The container is used for laying out the view, it does not have any semantic properties. In this case a defaultButton cannot be set, the focus cannot be set on the container, users cannot navigate to the container using the tab key, and in accessibility mode the container cannot be read by a screen reader.

    • isLayoutContainer=false:

      The container is used for the layout and represents a semantic grouping, for instance, it arranges labels and input fields in a form.

      In this case the TransparentContainer can be navigated to using the tab key, and it can also be read in accessibility mode, provided the relevant accessibility properties are set (see TransparentContainer). You can set a default button using the defaultButtonId property.

  • labeledBy

    ID specification of the SectionHeader. This property is used for non-layout containers (isLayoutContainer = false), to link a SectionHeader as the title control to this container. The link between an existing SectionHeader and a TransparentContainer using labeledBy is relevant for Accessibility.

  • explanation

    Help text displayed when the help mode is activated. This property can be personalized by administrators. More information: Explanation Property

  • scrollLeft

    Horizontal position of the scrollbar

    scrollLeft can only be set or read dynamically. It is not possible to bind scrollLeft to the context.

  • scrollTop

    Vertical position of the scrollbar

    scrollTop can only be set or read dynamically. It is not possible to bind scrollTop to the context.

Note Note

The following getter and setter methods are available to get or set the vertical and horizontal position of the scrollbar:

  • GET_SCROLL_LEFT: Gets the horizontal scroll position

  • GET_SCROLL_TOP: Gets the vertical scroll position

  • SET_SCROLL_LEFT: Sets the horizontal scroll position

  • SET_SCROLL_TOP: Sets the vertical scroll position

End of the note.

Note Note

The initial value of the attributes scrollLeft and scrollTop is –1. You can no longer reach this value by scrolling. This allows the application to determine whether the container has been scrolled or not. Therefore, the smallest value that can be reached after scrolling in either direction is 0.

End of the note.
