HorizontalArrangement

Definition

Use a horizontal arrangement component to display a group of components laid out from left to right.

This component is a formatting element in which you place components that should be displayed from left to right. If you want to have components displayed one over another, use VerticalArrangement instead.

In a HorizontalArrangement, components are arranged along the horizontal axis, vertically center-aligned.

If a HorizontalArrangement’s Height property is set to Automatic, the actual height of the arrangement is determined by the tallest component in the arrangement whose Height property is not set to Fill Parent. If a HorizontalArrangment’s Height property is set to Automatic and it contains only components whose Height properties are set to Fill Parent, the actual height of the arrangement is calculated using the automatic heights of the components. If a HorizontalArrangement’s Height property is set to Automatic and it is empty, the Height will be 100.

If a HorizontalArrangement’s Width property is set to Automatic, the actual width of the arrangement is determined by the sum of the widths of the components. If a HorizontalArrangement’s Width property is set to Automatic, any components whose Width properties are set to Fill Parent will behave as if they were set to Automatic.

If a HorizontalArrangement’s Width properties are set to Fill Parent will equally take up the width not occupied by other components.

Properties

AlignHorizontal

A number that encodes how contents of the HorizontalArrangement are aligned horizontally. The choices are: 1 = left aligned, 2 = right aligned, 3 = horizontally centered. Alignment has no effect if the HorizontalArrangement’s Width is Automatic.

AlignVertical

A number that encodes how the contents of the HorizontalArrangement are aligned vertically. The choices are: 1 = aligned at the top, 2 = vertically centered, 3 = aligned at the bottom. Alignment has no effect if the HorizontalArrangement’s Height is Automatic.

BackgroundColor

Specifies the background color of the HorizontalArrangement as an alpha-red-green-blue integer. If an Image has been set, the color change will not be visible until the Image is removed.

Height

Specifies the HorizontalArrangement’s vertical height, measured in pixels.

HeightPercent

Specifies the HorizontalArrangement’s vertical height as a percentage of the Screen’s Height.

Image

Specifies the path of the background image of the HorizontalArrangement.

Visible

Specifies whether the HorizontalArrangement should be visible on the screen. Value is true if the HorizontalArrangement is showing and false if hidden.

Width

Specifies the horizontal width of the HorizontalArrangement, measured in pixels.

WidthPercent

Specifies the horizontal width of the HorizontalArrangement as a percentage of the Screen’s Width.
