Method Summary
{column:width=100%}{column}
Property Details
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.

components.
Parameters

Sample
var form = solutionModel.newForm('printForm', 'example_data', 'parent_table', 'null', false, 400, 300); var slidingLabel = form.newLabel('Some long text here', 10, 10, 5, 5); slidingLabel.printSliding = SM_PRINT_SLIDING.GROW_HEIGHT | SM_PRINT_SLIDING.GROW_WIDTH; slidingLabel.background = 'gray'; forms['printForm'].controller.showPrintPreview();
Flag that tells if the component should be printed or not when the form is printed.
By default components are printable.
Parameters

Sample
var form = solutionModel.newForm('printForm', 'example_data', 'parent_table', 'null', false, 400, 300); var printedField = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20); var notPrintedField = form.newField('parent_table_id', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 40, 100, 20); notPrintedField.printable = false; // This field won't show up in print preview and won't be printed. forms['printForm'].controller.showPrintPreview()
Flag that tells how to arrange the tabs if they don't fit on a single line.
If this flag is set, then the tabs will stay on a single line, but there will
be the possibility to scroll them to the left and to the right. If this flag
is not set, then the tabs will be arranged on multiple lines.
Parameters

Sample
var tabPanel = form.newTabPanel('tabs', 10, 10, 200, 200); tabPanel.newTab('tab1', 'Child Two', childOne, parentToChild); // The first form uses the relation. tabPanel.newTab('tab2', 'Child Two', childTwo); tabPanel.scrollTabs = true;
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
in order to define a class names 'fancy' for fields, in the style
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.

or HIDE. The HIDE option makes the tabs invisible.
Parameters

Sample
var tabPanel = form.newTabPanel('tabs', 10, 10, 620, 460); tabPanel.newTab('tab1', 'Child Two', childOne, parentToChild); // The first form uses the relation. tabPanel.newTab('tab2', 'Child Two', childTwo); // The SM_ALIGNMENT constants TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM and LEFT can be used to put the // tabs into the needed position. Use SM_DEFAULTS.NONE to hide the tabs. tabPanel.tabOrientation = SM_ALIGNMENT.BOTTOM;
An index that specifies the position of the component in the tab sequence. The components
are put into the tab sequence in increasing order of this property. A value of 0 means
to use the default mechanism of building the tab sequence (based on their location on the form).
A value of -2 means to remove the component from the tab sequence.
Parameters

The default value is "false", that is the components
are not transparent.
