Description
|
|
Horizontal
|
If checked, the elements are arranged side-by-side in a row (a horizontal group). If not, the elements
are under each other (a vertical group).
|
|
Other
|
|
|
Multicolumn
|
If checked, and the number of elements is greater than can fit within the window, they are broken into
several columns. (Or into several rows if horizontal arrangement is selected.)
|
|
Line between elements
|
This option allows you to draw a line between elements. The line is drawn in the space between
elements. If the space is not wide enough, the line is not displayed.
none
no line (default setting)
simple
a simple black line one pixel wide (the actual color may differ depending on Windows settings).
The space between elements must be at least 1.
groove
three-dimensional line resembling a groove. The space between elements must be at least 2.
|
|
Separator line
|
If separator is switched on for an element, the line defined here is displayed before the element. The
options are the same as in Line between elements.
|
|
Space between elements
|
The space (in pixels) between elements. It is not displayed before the first and after the last element.
In addition, you can specify the space before and after every element individually. The space between
inner elements is therefore equal to the sum of the spaces before, between,
and after the element.
|
|
Separator space
|
Like Space between elements, but applicable when separator is switched on for an element.
In such situation, this setting is used instead of the Space between elements size.
|
|
Borders
|
Borders around the entire group.
|
|
Background
|
Background color displayed in the area without element dispels. The options are gray,
white, or auto. Actual colors depend on Windows color
setting. Gray refers to window background color whereas white refers
to the background of fields (such as table cells etc.). If the auto option is in place,
the background will be white if the group is located in a dispel with white background.

Description
|
|
Dispel
|
Definition of the respective element of the group.
|
|
Alignment
|
If the group elements have different widths, this setting determines their alignment. The options are:
left, center, right, and in block.
In block alignment expands all elements so that their width is equal to the width
of the widest element (if permitted by the element dispel).
|
|
Separator
|
If checked, a separator is displayed before the element. The actual appearance of the separator depends
on the Separator line and Separator space settings defined for
the group (see above).
|
|
Space before
|
The size (in pixels) of the space before every element – i.e. the space above the element in case
of vertical arrangement and the space to the left of the element in case of horizontal arrangement.
|
|
Space after
|
The size (in pixels) of the space after every element.
|
|
Indent
|
Space on the left in case of left alignment, or on the right in case of right alignment. If centered
alignment is in place, the number represents the shift relative to the center – positive values
cause a shift to the right and vice versa. Only positive values are valid for other than centered alignment;
negative values are interpreted as zero.
|
|
Expand along
|
If checked for an element, and the group is longer than the total of the lengths of its elements, this
element is expanded lengthwise to fill the entire redundant space in the group. If checked for multiple
elements, the redundant space is allocated proportionally to the elements’ optimal sizes.
Length refers to height in vertical groups and to width in horizontal groups.
