Input - GUI Output Form Properties (Magic xpa 2.x)
This is the Input Property list for GUI Output forms.
|
Area
|
For interactive windows, Class 0 forms, the Area field is disabled. For report forms, the Area field can be set to Detail (the default), Header, Footer, Page Header, or Page Footer. For I/O record layout forms, the field is disabled.
The physical placement (nesting) of Header, Detail, and Footer forms in the Form Editor is important. Each header form must be followed by its matching footer form. All header-footer pairs must precede the detail lines. The header-footer pairs must appear in their outside-in nested order. The detail lines should be placed after the innermost header-footer forms pair. Detail forms should appear in the order they appear on the report. When displayed within the report editor, Magic xpa orders the forms to their output format of nested header, detail, footer, reflecting the sequence in which they appear on the report.

Expand Form
|
If you have a form that you want to print and the fields are dynamic in size, you can use the following options in the Expand Form property to dynamically adjust the size of the form:
No – The form will not expand.
One page – The form will expand its size up to a single page to make room for new lines in the multi-line Edit control.
Multi-page – The form will expand across multiple pages to fit all the lines of the Edit control (with no limit). The table row will expand when the data will not fit on one row.

Note:
|
-
This property only works on graphical output.
-
Sometimes in the Print Previewer, the last line of the wrapped field will not show correctly. This is an issue with the Print Previewer, but the report will work correctly when it goes to a printer.
-
Expanded controls in a table will be printed on multiple pages only if the form does not contain expanded controls outside the table. In this case, the Expand Form property will behave as if set to One page.
-
Rich Edit controls will not print multiple pages, since the data cannot be cut between pages. In this case, the Expand Form property will behave as if set to One page.

Average Palette
|
In some forms that include many graphic images, the images may use different color palettes whose combination produces unsuitable resolution in the form. In such cases, you can set Use Average Palette to Yes to enable Magic xpa to use the palette that gives the average color for a selected graphic image.
