Property Details

anchors

Enables a component to stick to a specific side of form and/or to 
grow or shrink when a window is resized. 

If opposite anchors are activated then the component with grow or 
shrink with the window. For example if Top and Bottom are activated, 
then the component will grow/shrink when the window is vertically 
resized. If Left and Right are activated then the component
will grow/shrink when the window is horizontally resized. 

If opposite anchors are not activated, then the component will 
keep a constant distance from the sides of the window which
correspond to the activated anchors.

formIndex

Form index returns the z-index of the form element. If two elements overlap,
then the element with higher Z index is displayed above the form element with lower Z index.
In case of form inheritance, form index is evaluated in the context (form) where property is defined.
Elements which have child form as context will always be on top of elements which have parent form.
If element is overridden in child form but form index property is still inherited its context is still parent form.

Options to scale the image Media object that is displayed inside the component.
Can be set to one or a combination of CROP, REDUCE, ENLARGE and KEEPASPECT.

REDUCE combined with KEEPASPECT will reduce the image, but keep its aspect ratio.
This is useful when the component has other proportions than the image.

ENLARGE will scale up the image if the component is larger than the image.
ENLARGE combined with KEEPASPECT will scale up the image while keeping its aspect ratio.

CROP will leave the image at its original size. If the component is smaller than
the image this will result in only a part of the image showing up.

styleClass

The name of the style class that should be applied to this component.

When defining style classes for specific component types, their names
must be prefixed according to the type of the component. For example

definition the class must be named 'field.fancy'. If it would be 
intended for labels, then it would be named 'label.fancy'. When specifying
the class name for a component, the prefix is dropped however. Thus the
field or the label will have its styleClass property set to 'fancy' only.
