Height (Property)

In french: Hauteur

The Property Height allows to know and modify the height:

of a control or block in a report.
of a control (in a window), window, row of a Table, List Box or ListView control, option of a Radio Button or Check Box control, break header or footer of a Table or Looper control.
of a control (in a page), break header or footer in a Table or Looper control. The control can be overlayable or not.

You can also know the height of a cell in a Table control.

Remarks:

The border of control or block is included in its height. HeightInPixel is used to know the control height in pixels.
The height of a control is defined in the editor, in the control description.

Example

// Increases the height of "EDT_CustomerName"
EDT_CustomerName.Height = EDT_CustomerName.Height + 15
// Is equivalent to: EDT_CustomerName.Height += 15

// Modify the height of a window and control
WIN_CustomerForm.Height += 100 // Adds 100 pixels
EDT_Input1.Height += 10 // Adds 10 pixels

Syntax

Finding out the height of an element Hide the details

<Result> = <Element used>.Height

<Result>: Real

Height of the specified element. This height is expressed in pixels in a window and/or in a page, and in millimeters in a report.

<Element used>: Name of control or block.

Name of the element (control or block) to use.

Modifying the height of an element Hide the details

<Element used>.Height = <New height>

<Element used>: Name of control or block.

Name of the element (control or block) to use.

<New height>: Real

New height of the specified element. This height is expressed in pixels in a window and/or in a page, and in millimeters in a report.

Remarks

Height in a report

The height of a non-breakable block cannot exceed the available page height (excluding the page header and the page footer).
The height of a page footer cannot be modified. However, the height of a page header can be modified by programming.
A control must be entirely contained in the block to which it belongs.

Height of a row

The height of each row in a Table, List Box or ListView control can be defined by programming. For browsing List Box and Table controls, this height is kept for the visible section on the screen only

Example: Defines the height of row 3 in "LIST_List1" to 200.

LIST_List1[3]..Height = 200

Remark: For a column of an Table control, the Height property allows to know the Visible height of the Table control column . This property is available in read-only mode.

Initial height (control and window)

The initial height (described in the editor) is returned by InitialHeight.

In most cases, the height of an object depends on MaxHeight and MinHeight. However, this constraint disappears when changing the height by programming (using Property Height or the WinSize function).
