   The Gallery in rows control includes:
   • a "Gallery in rows" Looper control.
   • a Dynamic Image control that uses the "Homothetic centered without enlargement" browser display mode.
   • a Static control used to display information.
   • a pager used to display the different looper pages.
   • three buttons (favorites, comment, share).
3. The created Gallery control can be customized. No code is associated with the different elements of Gallery control.

Remark: You can also create a standard Looper control and to configure it in order to get a gallery in rows.

Characteristics of gallery in rows

• Reference control: A gallery in rows includes several rows. Each row contains at least one reference control. This reference control corresponds to an Image control, a clickable Image control or a Thumbnail control. This reference control is used to define a reference size (a minimum size).
  This reference control is defined in the "Details" tab of the Looper control description window.
• Scroll popup: It is possible to automatically open a scroll popup when clicking on the reference control:
  • In the Looper control description window, in the "Details" tab, check "During click, open a popup for automatic scroll".
• At runtime, the height of each row automatically adjusts to fit the content displayed.
  Caution: the display mode of Image control is very important.
  • If the source image is smaller than the reference Image control, the display mode of the image is applied at runtime.
  • If the height of source image is greater than its width in relation to the reference Image control, the row height will be increased.
