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:
|
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. 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 |
-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
|
-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
