Width (Property)

In french: Largeur

Width is used to find out and modify 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. WidthInPixel is used to find out the width of a report control in pixels.
The width of a control is defined in the editor in the control description.

Example

// Increases the width of "EDT_CustomerName"
EDT_CustomerName.Width = EDT_CustomerName.Width + 15
// Is equivalent to: EDT_CustomerName.Width += 15

// Modify the width of two controls
EDT_CustomerLastName.Width += 100 // Adds 100 pixels
EDT_CustomerFirstName.Width += 10 // Adds 10 pixels

Remarks

Width of a window: Specific features

Initial width (control and window)

The initial width (defined in the editor) is returned by InitialWidth.

In most cases, the width of an element depends on MaxWidth and MinWidth. Nevertheless, this constraint disappears when the width is modified by programming (using the Property Width or the WinSize function).

Column width

When the width of a column is modified in a Table control, if the specified width is less than the minimum width, the latter must be modified (MinWidth) in order to apply the modification.

Horizontal Table control: The Property Width changes the height of the row. Height is used to find out the width of the entire table. This property is available in read-only mode.

Limits

The Property Width cannot be used on an report.

Width is not available for the iFrame controls.
