It can be difficult to distinguish between a vertical pane and a horizontal pane before you place any controls or child panes in them. For this reason, these pane types are distinguished in the Design tab by small chevron icons pointing down for vertical panes and to the right for horizontal panes. (The chevrons do not appear at runtime or in the preview tabs.)Figure 140 Design View
Keyboard Access Change between tabs without a mouse by using the left and right arrows.
• Add a new child pane A special button positioned at the end of the tab collection. Click this button to add a new child pane to the tabbed pane.
• Expand/collapse the tabbed pane A special toggle button positioned after the new pane button, that toggles the state of the tabbed pane between a collapsed state and an expanded state. The collapsed state has one pane visible whereas the expanded state has all child panes visible side-by-side. In the expanded state, the tabbed pane behaves similar to a horizontal or vertical pane. You can add, move, and delete controls on the expanded pane. The expanded state is particularly useful when you want to rearrange or delete child panes or move controls between panes.
For either of the latter two approaches, the Pane Data Type property needs to be set in the form model to the type of object that is set on the pane with a list.Figure 142 General Properties Tab of Record PaneThe Properties tab of a record pane’s Properties view displays a set of properties. You can refer to Properties View for Panes section for the complete listing of the Properties tab.Figure 143 Properties Tab of Record PaneFigure 144 Record Pane with Navigation ControlsThe label displays: Record [index] of ##. The index indicates the current record and ## indicates the length of the list. You can directly edit the index value. If a number less than 1 or a number greater than the length of the list is specified, the index is reset to the value it was set earlier.Grid panes are generated in a default form for complex data when the data type is defined as allowing multiple instances, for example, zero-to-many (*) or one-to-many (1..*). When a grid pane is rendered, attributes of complex data types correspond to columns, and each of the multiple instances corresponds to a row.Several properties appear in the Properties tab of a grid pane’s Properties view that are particular to this type of pane. Refer to Properties View for Panes section for the complete listing of the Properties tab.Figure 145 Properties Tab of Grid Pane
