Description of UI Element Properties
  • hAlign

    Specifies the horizontal alignment of the content within the FormattedTextView element. The value native for the layout property is ignored. Property hAlign can take the following values and is represented by the list type WDInputFieldAlignment:

    auto

    Automatic alignment of the text content. The alignment is specified by the usage of the UI element - for example, by the data type of the value to be represented.

    beginOfLine

    The text content is always displayed at the beginning of the line. The text content for value ltr of property textDirection is therefore left-justified. The text content for value rtl is right-justified.

    center

    Centered alignment.

    endOfLine

    The text content is always displayed at the end of the line. The text content for value ltr of property textDirection is therefore right-justified. The text content for value rtl is left-justified.

    forcedLeft

    The text content is always left-justified, regardless of whether the value is ltr or rtl for the textDirection property.

    forcedRight

    The text content is always right-justified, regardless of whether the value is ltr or rtl for the textDirection property.

    left

    Left-justified alignment. This value is deprecated. Use beginOfLine instead.

    right

    Right-justified alignment. This value is deprecated. Use forcedRight instead.

    The default value for this property is auto.

  • text

    Determines the text displayed.

  • textDirection

    Specifies the text direction and allows you to use dropdown list boxes for texts in languages that require a specific text direction. The textDirection property can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTextDirection.

    inherit

    The text direction is inherited from the parent element. The text direction is therefore identical that of the parent element.

    ltr

    The text runs from left to right.

    rtl

    The text runs from right to left.

    The default value is inherit.
