Use

You use this function to maintain subscreen area attributes for screen elements in the Screen Painter.

Features

To change the subscreen area attributes for screen elements, in the graphical Layout Editor of the Screen Painter, double-click on the subscreen area. In the Attributes group box, you can set the following attributes:

Attribute

Description

Scrollable

This attribute determines whether the subscreen area is scrollable. Subscreen areas containing tabstrip controls are scrollable by default.

KeepTab Property

Keeps the tab in the subscreen area. If you press the tab key repeatedly, the cursor moves to the next field on the right or to the first field in the next row. That sequence is interrupted only for fields within a frame. If the cursor jumps into a frame, it moves around all fields of the frame and then goes on to other screen elements. The KeepTab property allows you to assign this behavior to subscreen areas. The possible values for the KeepTab property are:

      TRUE

The tabulator string is kept within the include area of the subscreen with this value.

      FALSE

The tabulator string does not recognize screen nesting ("flat assignment").

The selected value cannot be changed at runtime.

Resizing (Vertical/Horizontal)

This attribute defines the behavior of the subscreen area if you manually change the height (vertical resizing) and/or width (horizontal resizing) of the window. Set this attribute if you want the size of the subscreen area to change when the size of the window changes.

Min. Lines

Defines the minimum number of rows for vertical resizing.

Min. Columns

Defines the minimum number of columns for horizontal resizing.

For more information about screen elements, see General Attributes.
