The height of each row in a Table, List Box or ListView control can be defined through programming. For browsing List Box and Table controls, this height is kept for the visible section on the screen only
Example: Defines the height of row 3 in "LIST_List1" to 200.
LIST_List1[3].Height = 200
Remark: For a column in a Table control, the Height property gets the visible height of the column. This property is read-only.
