MinWidth (Property)

In french: LargeurMin

The MinWidth property gets and sets the minimum width of a control or window.

The minimum width of controls and windows is set to 0 by default. However, some controls cannot be resized below the size of their border.

Reminder The minimum width of a field or window is used for the following operations:

Window resized by the user.
Management of anchors.
Window resized through programming (with the Width property or the WinSize function).

Example

// Modification de la taille d'une colonne (2 pixels)
COL_Colonne1.LargeurMin = 2
COL_Colonne1.Largeur = 2

// Modification de la largeur minimale d'un champ
SAI_Saisie1.LargeurMin = 200
SAI_Saisie1.Largeur = 150
// En réalité, la largeur du champ sera égale à 200

Syntax

Finding out the minimum width of an element Hide the details

<Current minimum width> = <Element used>.MinWidth

<Current minimum width>: Integer

Minimum width of the specified element (including the border) expressed in pixels.

<Element used>: Window name or control name

Name of the element (window or control) used.

Modifying the minimum width of an element Hide the details

<Element used>.MinWidth = <New minimum width>

<Element used>: Window name or control name

Name of the element (window or control) used.

<New minimum width>: Integer

New minimum width of the element (including the border) expressed in pixels.

Remarks

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).

Width of a column in a Table control

When the width of a column is changed in a Table control (with the Width property), if the specified width is less than the minimum width, the latter must be modified (using the MinWidth property) to reflect the change.

Button.
Wording.
Edit control.
Image.
Check Box.
Radio Button.
List Box.
