The Width property gets and changes the width:
  • of a control or block in a report.
  • of a control (found in a window), window, column found in a table or column found in a list box (including listview).
  • of a control (found in a page), column found in a table or column found in a list box. The control can be overlayable or not.
This property also allows you to find out the width of a table cell. To modify its width, modify the width of the corresponding column.
Remarks:
  • In a report, the border of the control or block is included in its width. The WidthInPixel property is used to get the width in pixels of a control in a report.
  • The width of a control is defined in the editor in the control description.
Example
// Augmente la largeur du champ "SAI_NomClient"
SAI_NomClient.Largeur = SAI_NomClient.Largeur + 15
// Est équivalent à : SAI_NomClient.Largeur += 15
// Modification de la largeur de deux champs
SAI_NomClient.Largeur += 100	// Ajoute 100 pixels
SAI_PrénomClient.Largeur += 10		// Ajoute 10 pixels
