GroupBox class
A GroupBox is a container object. It may be used on any level of the
Dialog hierarchy to group any number
of child objects.
Optionally, a GroupBox may have a virtual size
which may turn it into a scrollable area within a
Dialog.
If used as a direct child object of a
TabBox, a GroupBox represents
a tab in a TabBox.
If used as a direct child object of a
Splitter, a GroupBox represents
a splitter pane.
- accelerator : string, get/set
- Specifies the accelerator key used to activate the associated tab
in a TabBox.
The accelerator key is specified by the corresponding letter or digit,
optionally prefixed with one or more modifiers (ctrl, alt, altGraph, meta).
For example:
"A"
"ctrl B"
"ctrl alt 3"
"alt 4"
The default value is empty (no accelerator key).
Note: This attribute is used if the GroupBox is a direct child
object of a TabBox, i.e., it represents
a tab in a TabBox.
Otherwise, this attribute has no effect.
- bgfill : string, get/set
- Specifies the background image fill mode:
| "none" | |
The background image is positioned in the topleft corner of the
GroupBox. |
| "center" | |
The background image is centered across the GroupBox. |
| "tile" | |
The background image is tiled across the GroupBox.
This is the default. |
| "scale" | |
The background image is scaled to the GroupBox size. |
See also bgimage below.
- bgimage : string, get/set
- Specifies the URL referring to a GroupBox background image in png,
gif or jpg format. The image is tiled across the
background if it is smaller than the GroupBox.
If a relative URL is specified, the value of the
Application.baseurl
or System.baseurl attribute
or eloquence.config.baseurl
configuration property is prepended.
The default value is empty (no background image).
See also bgfill above.
- border : integer, get/set
- Specifies the GroupBox border visibility and thickness.
If nonzero, the border is displayed, optionally with a
title.
If zero, border and title are not displayed.
If borderstyle is set to "solid", a
border value of 1 specifies a thin solid border, while border values
greater than 1 specify a thick solid border.
If borderstyle is set to "etched",
"raised" or "lowered", the border thickness is ignored.
The default border value is 1.
Note: This attribute has no effect if the GroupBox
is a direct child object of a TabBox
or Splitter.
- borderstyle : string, get/set
- Specifies the GroupBox border style:
"solid"
(default) | |
A solid border is displayed. The border
attribute may be used to specify the thickness. |
| "etched" | |
A border with an etched 3D effect is displayed. |
| "raised" | |
A border with a raised 3D effect is displayed. |
| "lowered" | |
A border with a lowered 3D effect is displayed. |
If the border attribute is set to zero,
border and title
are not displayed.
Note: This attribute has no effect if the GroupBox
is a direct child object of a TabBox
or Splitter.
- class : string, get
- Returns "GroupBox".
- icon : string, get/set
- Specifies the URL referring to an icon image in png,
gif or jpg format, to be displayed on the associated
tab in a TabBox.
If a relative URL is specified, the value of the
Application.baseurl
or System.baseurl attribute
or eloquence.config.baseurl
configuration property is prepended.
The default value is empty (icon image not specified).
Note: This attribute is used if the GroupBox is a direct child
object of a TabBox, i.e., it represents
a tab in a TabBox.
Otherwise, this attribute has no effect.
- margin : integer, get/set
-
Used to set the
left/right/top/bottom
margin attributes to the same value (see below).
On DLG GET, 1 is returned if the
left/right/top/bottom
margin attributes are all set to a nonzero value, else 0 is returned.
Note: JDLG versions before 1.7.0 do not support individual
left/right/top/bottom margins. If the margin attribute is set to a nonzero
value, an inner margin is assumed which offsets the position
of child objects in the GroupBox. The horizontal margin size is half a
raster width, the vertical margin
size is half a raster height.
The default value is zero (no margin).
- marginbottom : integer, get/set
- If nonzero, an inner bottom margin is assumed which offsets the position
of child objects in the GroupBox. This is used with the
yauto
vertical layout modes 0 and -1.
The bottom margin size is half a
raster height.
The default value is zero (no bottom margin).
Note: Requires JDLG version 1.7.0 or newer.
- marginleft : integer, get/set
- If nonzero, an inner left margin is assumed which offsets the position
of child objects in the GroupBox. This is used with the
xauto
horizontal layout modes 0 and 1.
The left margin size is half a
raster width.
The default value is zero (no left margin).
Note: Requires JDLG version 1.7.0 or newer.
- marginright : integer, get/set
- If nonzero, an inner right margin is assumed which offsets the position
of child objects in the GroupBox. This is used with the
xauto
horizontal layout modes 0 and -1.
The right margin size is half a
raster width.
The default value is zero (no right margin).
Note: Requires JDLG version 1.7.0 or newer.
- margintop : integer, get/set
- If nonzero, an inner top margin is assumed which offsets the position
of child objects in the GroupBox. This is used with the
yauto
vertical layout modes 0 and 1.
The top margin size is half a
raster height.
The default value is zero (no top margin).
Note: Requires JDLG version 1.7.0 or newer.
- rule : integer, get/set
- Specifies the rule value assigned to the associated tab in a
TabBox. If nonzero, this overrides
the TabBox rule attribute.
See also the documentation of the
TabBox rule attribute.
Note: This attribute is used if the GroupBox is a direct child
object of a TabBox, i.e., it represents
a tab in a TabBox.
Otherwise, this attribute has no effect.
- title : string, get/set
- Specifies an optional GroupBox title, to be displayed in the GroupBox
border.
If the border attribute is set to zero,
the title is not displayed.
If the GroupBox is a direct child object of a
TabBox, this attribute instead specifies the
title of the associated tab in the TabBox.
Note: This attribute has no effect if the GroupBox is a direct
child object of a Splitter.
- vheight : integer, get/set
- If nonzero, specifies the virtual height of the GroupBox.
A vertical scroll bar is provided if the virtual height exceeds
the visible height.
The default value is zero (virtual height equals visible height).
See also vwidth below.
- vwidth : integer, get/set
- If nonzero, specifies the virtual width of the GroupBox.
A horizontal scroll bar is provided if the virtual width exceeds
the visible width.
The default value is zero (virtual width equals visible width).
See also vheight above.
- vx : integer, get/set
- Specifies the horizontal scroll bar position of a scrollable GroupBox
in Dialog raster units or pixel units, depending on the value of the
sizeraster attribute.
See also vwidth above.
Note: Requires JDLG version 1.7.7 or newer.
- vy : integer, get/set
- Specifies the vertical scroll bar position of a scrollable GroupBox
in Dialog raster units or pixel units, depending on the value of the
sizeraster attribute.
See also vheight above.
Note: Requires JDLG version 1.7.7 or newer.
