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
