Description

Form view layout

Enhanced

The following enhancements have been added when working with form views on the Layout board:

  • You can see a visual representation of a grid on the form, showing the number of columns and rows on the form. This makes it easier to place or move controls on the form.

  • You can add or remove columns and rows using the context menu on the form.

  • You can specify how many columns a control should span.

  • Controls with a Text property, such as Plain Text, Button, Toggle Button and Hyperlink, automatically resize their widths to match the length of the value defined for the Text property.

Change column width

Enhanced

When you have a single column in a form view and the Scale mode property is set to Fixed scale, you can change the width of the column by dragging the column edge on the Layout board, or by entering a new width (in pixels) in the Col. widths property of the Configure task panel.

Date/Time data type and control

New

A new data type – DateTime – and control are now supported. The new control for this data type, the DateTime Picker, has been added to the Compose task panel for the Layout board. The new field contains three sections: for the date, time and (optionally) the time zone.

Right-aligned toolbars

Enhanced

You can now choose whether to add toolbar buttons to the left or right of a toolbar, by dragging the controls to the required toolbar side. To add buttons that are right-aligned, add the first button on the right, and drag subsequent buttons into the right orange frame by positioning the button with the orange arrows and then releasing the mouse.
