The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.

The Concepts pages define concepts and elements used in the Eclipse Scout Framework.

Abstract

Scout provides a generic layout on any composite fields as:

The layout is mainly related to a grid layout with some additional features as weight related resize behavior and some optimizations reducing the used space. There are currently a horizontal and a vertical implementation of the grid layout.

Layout properties

Groupbox Properties

The following group box properties affect the layout of the container. So the fields in the container getting layouted respecting the properties.

Config method Meaning Default value
getConfiguredBodyGrid The layout orientation vertical vs. horizontal. Scout provides two layout strategies:
  • Vertical(VerticalSmartGroupBoxBodyGrid) The fields are placed column first in the grid. (Field01 [x0,y0]; Field02 [x0,y1]...)
  • Horizontal (HorizontalGroupBoxBodyGrid) The fields are placed row first in the grid. (Field01 [x0,y0]; Field02 [x1,y0]...)
VerticalSmartGroupBoxBodyGrid.class
getConfiguredColumnCount Column count of the layout where child fields are placed in respective to their layout data. -1 Will be replaced with either the parent groupbox column count or if any of the parent group boxes has a grid column count 2.


Form Field Properties

The form field properties define how a certain form field has to be layout in its container.

Config method Meaning Default value
getConfiguredGridX Configures the x position (horizontal) of this field in the logical grid of the surrounding group box.

If the value is set to -1, the property will be ignored. If the value is >= 0, it's considered as grid column.
It is not necessary to explicitly set a column count by AbstractGroupBox#getConfiguredGridColumnCount().

This property only has an effect if every field inside the group box has a fix position which means every field inside the group box need to have x and y to be set which can be configured by getConfiguredGridX() and getConfiguredGridY().

This property is for static layout only and should only be used in spacial cases!
-1 means no static grid position.
getConfiguredGridY Configures the y (vertical) position of this field in the logical grid of the surrounding group box.

If the value is set to -1, the property will be ignored. If the value is >= 0, it's considered as grid row. This property only has an effect if every field inside the group box has a fix position which means every field inside the group box need to have x and y to be set which can be configured by </code>getConfiguredGridX()</code> and getConfiguredGridY().

Note.png
This property is for static layout only and should only be used in spacial cases!
-1 means no static grid position.
getConfiguredGridW Configures the column span of this group box.

The value defined by this property refers to the number of columns defined by the container of this field. The column count of the container, which actually is the parent group box, can be configured by getConfiguredGridColumnCount() (you need to configure that in the parent group box). The maximum value is the number of columns of the containing container (group box) otherwise the value will be set runtimely to the number of columns of the container.
