Fields on the Forms Child Layout Tab

Property Description
Inherit from System Defaults Check box determines whether or not the values on this tab are inherited from the system defaults.
Width Determines the default width in pixels inherited by top-level panes. The width is that of the pane's child content area, excluding any space reserved for the pane label and hint.
Height Determines the default height in pixels inherited by top-level panes. The height is that of the pane's child content area, excluding any space reserved for the pane label and hint.
Padding Determines the default padding inherited by top-level panes. Padding is the spacing between adjacent sibling form elements. The value is a space-separated list of between one and four non-negative integers, representing the top, right, bottom and left padding respectively, in pixels. Missing values default to the last value in the list.
Margin Determines the default margin inherited by top-level panes. Margin is the free space around the edges of a pane. The value is a space-separated list of between one and four non-negative integers, representing the top, right, bottom and left margins respectively, in pixels. Missing values default to the last value in the list.
BG Color Determines the default background color inherited by top-level panes.
Border Determines the default border style inherited by top-level panes. Supported values are line and none. A line-style pane border is drawn as a horizontal line beneath the pane label and only appears when the label position is top.
Overflow Determines the default overflow strategy inherited by top-level panes. Overflow strategy determines how the pane responds to an explicit width and/or height setting that is less than the minimum required to display all of its content. Supported values are expand, auto, and hidden. The default strategy, expand, causes the pane to ignore a width or height setting if it is less than the minimum required. The auto strategy accepts the explicit size and displays scrollbars to enabled the hidden content to be revealed. The hidden strategy simply crops any content which lies outside the explicit bounds.
