Controlling the web component layout
Web components are usually complex widgets displaying detailed
information, such as charts, graphs, or calendars. Such widgets are generally resizable. Therefore,
the WEBCOMPONENT
form item must be large and stretchable.
As web components are displayed in an individual web viewer, several layout concepts need to be
considered:
- The layout attributes of the
WEBCOMPONENT
form item, such asSIZEPOLICY
,SCROLLBARS
,STRETCH
andHEIGHT
. - By default, a
WEBCOMPONENT
form item is stretchable (STRETCH=BOTH
). - By default, a
WEBCOMPONENT
form item gets a vertical scrollbar (SCROLLBARS=VERTICAL
). - The layout attributes of the HTML root and body element (viewport, height).
- The layout attributes of responsive elements such as SVG content.
