Columns are used in the Row Layout Content to build a grid layout. In default, there is only one column in each content and its width is set to fill in the whole width of its parent.
Form Design Actions
Clicking on a column pops up a design actions menu with the following options:
- Cut action cuts the control. Use paste action to move the control to another location after cutting.
- Copy action copies the control. Use paste action to add the control to another location after copying.
- Paste action adds the currently copied/cut control. This option is not visible if there is no copied/cut content at the moment.
- Delete action deletes the control.
- XML is used to view and edit xml of the control.
- Convert is used to change the content control into other control types.
- Add New is used to add content into the column.
Design
Align
Adjusts the alignment of the column with respect to its parent.
Width
A row content is assumed to have a maximum width of 12 columns in total. Conforming to this, a column may have a width of 1 to 12 columns. If "inherit from smaller" option is selected, it inherits the width from the configuration for the smaller device, which is specified at a responsive layout section.
Responsive Layout
Defines how the column is going to be displayed on the mobile device screens. It provides width option selection for desktop, landscape and portrait orientations of a tablet and a regular mobile phone. Landscape orientation of a tablet is the default width which is defined in the previous section.
