STRETCH attribute

The STRETCH attribute specifies how a widget must resize when the parent container is resized.

Syntax

STRETCH = { NONE | X | Y | BOTH }

Usage

This attribute is typically used with form items that can be re-sized like IMAGE, TEXTEDIT, or WEBCOMPONENT fields.

By default, such form items have a fixed width and height, but in some cases you may want to force the widget to resize vertically, horizontally, or in both directions.

  • To allow the widget to resize vertically only, use STRETCH=Y.
  • To allow the widget to resize horizontally only, use STRETCH=X.
  • To allow the widget to resize vertically and horizontally, use STRETCH=BOTH.
Note: By default, WEBCOMPONENT form items stretch in both directions (STRETCH=BOTH is the default).

Example

IMAGE i01 = FORMONLY.image01, STRETCH=BOTH;
