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

Initial width (control and window)

The initial width (defined in the editor) is returned by the InitialWidth property.
In most cases, the width of an element depends on the MaxWidth and MinWidth properties. However, this constraint no longer applies when the width is changed through programming (with the Width property or the WinSize function).
