Toolbox

The toolbox can be used to change the positioning and size of a component. Unlike the properties such as DefaultVerticalComponentAlignmenet, these do not affect the default settings of the child components.

  • Align - This allows to change the alignment of the component.

    • image not found Alignment: Sets the alignment of the component *against the layout direction right, center, left or top, center, bottom.

    • image not found Alignment Baseline: All components in a row are aligned based on their inner labels.

      • Functions only in conjunction with a "HorizontalLayout ".

      • image not found

    • image not found *Stretch property: The component is stretched against the layout direction.

      • Functions only in conjunction with a "VerticalLayout".

      • Overridden by setting fixed pixel values

      • image not found

    • image not found Property Auto: Component can be controlled by global settings of the parent container.

Weight - Controls the width or height of a component in relation to all other components in the layout direction. Example: 5 components → Weight: 1-1-1-1 → Allocation: 20%-20%-20%-20%. image not found Example: 5 components → Weight: 1-1-0-0 → Allocation: 50%-50%-MIN-MIN-MIN image not found Example: 4 components → Weight: 3-3-1-1 → Split: 37.5%-37.5%-12.5%-12.5%. image not found * Width/Height - This allows the size of the element to be set directly. A fixed value in pixels or percent overrides any other setting assigned by the parent or in the alignment. image not found Undefined: Size is controlled by the Parent Layout / Children component. image not found Pixel / Percent: Size is determined by the component itself directly. * Quick Settings - Here the weight of an element can be adjusted by one click.
