Properties of a Table control

Use the following tabs to configure a table.

General

Name Description

Type

The type of the control.

Name

A unique name for the table.

Enabled

Enables the control at runtime. (Default: Selected)

Security token

Makes the information in the form secure. See Security tokens.

Visible

Makes the control visible at runtime. (Default: Selected)

Auto fit

Adjusts the last column's width to fit the table width. (Default: Selected)

If the table width exceeds the combined columns' width, the width of the last column increases to fill the available space. Similarly, if the table width becomes less than the width of the combined columns, the width of the last column reduces proportionally to fit the available space.

For example, in a table of three columns, where each column is 100 mm wide, and if the total table width is set to 400 mm, then the width of the last column increases to 200 mm. If the table width is set to 250 mm, then the width of the last column becomes 50 mm.

See the Example for more scenarios of resulting columns based on Width mode and Auto fit properties.

Multi-select

If selected, displays a check box column at runtime and allows you to select multiple or all rows. The check box column makes multi-select easier on various devices.

Add and modify

If selected, allows you to add and modify data in a table at runtime. The Add button appears at the bottom of the table on a form at runtime. (Default: Clear)

Modify

If selected, allows you to modify data in a table on a form at runtime. The Modify button does not appear on the table at runtime. (Default: Clear)

If the Modify option is clear but the Add and Modify option is selected, the user can still modify the data in the table at runtime.

Delete

If selected, allows you to delete data from a table on a form at runtime. At runtime, the Delete button appears at the bottom of the table. (Default: Clear)

You can delete multiple rows in a table.
