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.
Returns
Number
Sample
var form = solutionModel.newForm('mediaForm', 'db:/example_data/parent_table', null, false, 400, 300);
var strechAllDirectionsLabel = form.newLabel('Strech all directions', 10, 10, 380, 280);
strechAllDirectionsLabel.background = 'red';
strechAllDirectionsLabel.anchors = SM_ANCHOR.ALL;
var strechVerticallyLabel = form.newLabel('Strech vertically', 10, 10, 190, 280);
strechVerticallyLabel.background = 'green';
strechVerticallyLabel.anchors = SM_ANCHOR.WEST | SM_ANCHOR.NORTH | SM_ANCHOR.SOUTH;
var strechHorizontallyLabel = form.newLabel('Strech horizontally', 10, 10, 380, 140);
strechHorizontallyLabel.background = 'blue';
strechHorizontallyLabel.anchors = SM_ANCHOR.NORTH | SM_ANCHOR.WEST | SM_ANCHOR.EAST;
var stickToTopLeftCornerLabel = form.newLabel('Stick to top-left corner', 10, 10, 200, 100);
stickToTopLeftCornerLabel.background = 'orange';
stickToTopLeftCornerLabel.anchors = SM_ANCHOR.NORTH | SM_ANCHOR.WEST; // This is equivalent to SM_ANCHOR.DEFAULT
var stickToBottomRightCornerLabel = form.newLabel('Stick to bottom-right corner', 190, 190, 200, 100);
stickToBottomRightCornerLabel.background = 'pink';
stickToBottomRightCornerLabel.anchors = SM_ANCHOR.SOUTH | SM_ANCHOR.EAST;

fieldAbove.background = '#FF0000';
fieldAbove.formIndex = 20;
groupID
A String representing a group ID for this component. If several
components have the same group ID then they belong to the same
group of components. Using the group itself, all components can
be disabled/enabled or made invisible/visible.
The group id should be a javascript compatible identifier to allow access of the group in scripting.
