These attributes affect the size and location of the object in the frame or window:

  • ROW, COLUMN — These DECIMAL attributes are the character positions of the object within its container. For objects in a frame, the values represent the position within the frame and not within the frame’s window. The frame has its own position within its window, and the window has its own position within the display device. When you lay out objects in the AppBuilder, it generates code to position the objects using ROW and COLUMN coordinates. Alternately, you can use pixel values for positions. Generally, character positions are more portable and flexible if the font or display device changes.
  • X, Y — These INTEGER attributes are equivalent to ROW and COLUMN but measured in pixels.
  • HEIGHT-CHARS, WIDTH-CHARS — These DECIMAL attributes are the height and width of the object in character units.
  • HEIGHT-PIXELS, WIDTH-PIXELS — These INTEGER attributes are the height and width of the object in pixels.
