JUSTIFY attribute
The JUSTIFY attribute defines the alignment of a text field content,
and table column headers.
Syntax
JUSTIFY = { LEFT | CENTER | RIGHT }Usage
With the JUSTIFY attribute, you specify the justification of the content of a
text field as LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT when the
field is in display state.
JUSTIFY has no effect on the content of form item types like
IMAGE, CHECKBOX, PROGRESSBAR. It aligns only the
content of text fields such as EDIT and BUTTONEDIT.The JUSTIFY attribute can be used with all form item types. In addition to the
text field data alignment, JUSTIFY defines the alignment of table column headers
(this means table column header follows the alignment of field data). However, column header
alignment in tables may not be enabled by default; check the headerAlignment
presentation style attribute for the Table class.
JUSTIFY may not be
supported, if the native platform widget does not allow alignment. For example, a
DATEEDIT form field may not align the date value. The JUSTIFY
attribute is typically used for text data only.If the field has the focus in a dialog allowing user input, the data alignment rules are
front-end specific, and follow either JUSTIFY or the data type of the field
variable. When the current dialog is a CONSTRUCT, criteria input is always
left-aligned.
With mobile front-ends, tables are rendered as list views with a maximum of two visible columns.
By default, the main and the comment columns are displayed vertically in each row (main is above the
comment). Use JUSTIFY=RIGHT for the second column, in order to display columns side
by side. Note that numeric fields are by default right justified and thus do not need this attribute
to be set.
You can also specify the text alignment of static form labels with the JUSTIFY
attribute.
Example
LABEL t01: TEXT="Hello!", JUSTIFY=RIGHT;
EDIT f01 = order.value, JUSTIFY=CENTER;
