Resizing Controls

This topic describes the procedure to resize controls.

While designing XForms, you can resize controls vertically or horizontally to fit the required layout.

Open the XForm in the XForms Designer.
Place the cursor on the vertical or horizontal edge of the control.The resize handle appears.

Note:
For controls that cannot be resized vertically, such as the Input, Password, Output, Select, and Check controls, the resizing handle appears only on the vertical edges.
Drag the edge of the control to resize it. Alternatively, select the control, and press Shift and the arrow keys.

The control is resized accordingly.

Note:

You can also select multiple controls and resize them. To select multiple controls, press the Ctrl key and select the required controls.
Right-click the control and select Set Default Size to reverse the changes made and display the default size of the control. This option is available only for vertical layouts and resizes the control according to the size of the parent control.

Consider the following while resizing controls:

The Groupbox and Group controls automatically resize when controls are added to them.
Grouping controls can be resized diagonally with the help of the diagonal resize handler located at the bottom right corner of the grouping control.
If you decrease the size of the Input control to less than the label size, the label shifts from the left to the top of the control.
You cannot resize the toolbar, toolbar buttons, or the control bar and pagination bar buttons.
