Controls that can be moved in a page

Overview

WEBDEV proposes two modes for moving the controls in a page:

Controls that can be moved by programming: several properties are available for positioning the controls.
Controls that can be moved with the mouse: you have the ability to specify that a control can be moved by the user with the mouse. The new position of the control can be saved.

Controls that can be moved by programming

The page controls can be moved dynamically by programming.

..X and ..Y are available in read/write, in server code and in browser code.

You can:

allow the Web user to position the controls or the groups of controls.
dynamically modify the location of the controls according to some processes and actions.

Example: Following the mouse pointer:

Controls that can be moved with the mouse

In a page, a control can be moved by the Web user with the mouse. The Web user will be able to reorganize the page according to his needs. You also have the ability to store the new position of the control defined by the Web user. Therefore, the next time the page is opened, the controls will be located at the requested position.

This feature is mainly used to easily move the controls found in a cell, in a looper or in a supercontrol, ...

To allow the controls to be moved with the mouse:

Display the description window of the control.
In the "Details" tab, check the requested options in the "Overlay and movement" section.

If the control can be stacked, it can be moved with the mouse and its new position can be stored.

Note: you can define a control that can be moved with the mouse in an internal page. This control can be moved in the page that hosts the internal page.

Case of Looper controls, Supercontrols and Cell controls

To make the Looper controls, the Supercontrols and the Cell controls movable with the mouse, you must also specify the controls that will allow the move of the affected control.

Caution: No iFrame, WebCam, Flash or Java Applet control can be used to move the looper controls, the supercontrols and the cell controls with the mouse.

Limitations

Only the following controls can be moved directly:

Cell,
Looper,
