| Inherit From Parent |
Specifies whether the layout properties of the control are inherited. If the Inherit check box is selected, all fields are disabled for editing. Clearing the Inherit field allows you to edit all fields on this tab. |
| Width |
Width of the pane or control. The width is that of the content area. For panes, this is the area occupied by child panes and controls; for controls, it is the area occupied by the control body, excluding label and hint areas. |
| Height |
Height of the pane or control. The height is that of the content area. For panes, this is the area occupied by child panes and controls; for controls, it is the area occupied by the control body, excluding label and hint areas. |
| BG Color |
Background color for the object being configured. |
| Padding |
Sets the white-space gap between the outer edge of the object and its inner content. Specified as one to four implied pixel values applied in this order: top, right, bottom, and left. For example, 8 pixels of padding could be specified as 8, or as four space-separated values: 8 8 8 8. |
| Margin |
Sets the gap between the object’s border and its parent or sibling objects. Specified as one to four implied pixel values applied in this order: top, right, bottom, and left. For example, 4 pixels for margins could be specified as 4, or as four space-separated values: 4 4 4 4. |
| Border |
Sets a border around the object. Possible values are none and line. |
| Overflow |
Determines how the control or pane behaves when its content exceeds its dimensions. Possible values are expand, auto, and hidden. These terms are described here:
- expand The pane expands to show all of its contents. (Manual values for a pane or control’s width or height that are less than the preferred width or height are ignored when the overflow mode is expand.)
- auto The pane uses scroll bars to show any content that cannot fit within the fixed width and height.
- hidden Any content that exceeds the prescribed width and height is not be shown.
