Description

Label Widths

New

For form views, you can specify the percentage of the column width that you want the control labels in that column to occupy. You do this by choosing Customize Columns from the context menu of the form. Enter the column-width percentage for the labels in each column.

Adding Controls to the Bottom of a Form

New

You can now drag a control from the Layout board and add it to the bottom of a form. As you drag it, an arrow appears indicating where to drop the control so that it will add a new row at the bottom of the form.

Column Size

New

You can define the widths of each column in a table. In the context menu of the table, choose Customize Columns. In the Customize Columns dialog box, specify the width of each column (in pixels, when the table's Content scale property is Fixed; as a percentage of the table width, when the table's Content scale property is Auto-fit).

You can also make all of the columns equal in width, by choosing Distribute Evenly from the context menu of the table, or clicking the Distribute Evenly button in the Customize Columns dialog box.

Table, Chart, and Control Styles

New

You can change the appearance of table rows and cells by defining styles that can be dynamically changed at runtime according to their values. To do this, select the table or table cell on the Layout board, then choose Row Styles or Cell Styles from the context menu of the table. Specify the colors for the rows and cells and the conditions when they should be applied. For more information, see Defining Table Styles.

You can change the appearance of values displayed in plain text controls, including font style and color, by defining styles that can be dynamically changed at runtime according to the bound field value. To do this, in the context menu of the plain text control on the Layout board, choose Styles. Specify the font colors and styles and the conditions according to which they should be used. For more information, see Defining Control Styles.

You can also select the colors to be used for chart data series. In the Define Data Series dialog box, select a predefined theme color for each data series.
