  • You can record layout properties of GUI elements. If you activate this option. the system records the following attributes of GUI elements:

    • CharLeft and CharTop state the position of the GUI element from the top left-hand corner..

    • CharHeight and CharWidth give the size of the GUI elements.

Web Dynpro
