Non-Field Elements

Learn to add non-fields elements to control definition.

You can structure the information displayed on Details, MiniDetails and Search controls by adding the following "non-field" elements to your control definitions:

• Line Feed: Inserts a line break as follows:
  • If the Line Feed element is inserted in another than the first column, the field after the line break is moved to the next row.
  • If inserted in the first column (i.e. at the beginning of a row), it is ignored.
  • If inserted with the All columns field attribute checked, an empty row (blank line) is created at this position. This functionality is not supported if the Line feed element is part of a combined field.
  • If used inside a combined field without additional attributes the line feed spans the same number of columns as the combined field itself Default: 1 column
• Caption: Inserts a caption text followed by a line break. The caption text is defined by the Label attribute. To display multiple captions in one row, use the One Column field attribute.
• Text: Inserts any kind of text. The text itself is defined by the Label attribute.

  If a text requires more than the available space, the entire text is displayed in a tool tip.

• Separator: Inserts a horizontal separation line across all columns.

Non-field elements are listed at the end of the Field list. You can add them to a panel just like fields (using drag&drop).
