STRIPSEL

The STRIPSEL control is very similar to the TABSTRIP2 control: the user selects one option out of many.

The STRIPSEL control is typically located somewhere at the top of a page, but it can also be positioned anywhere else.

The following topics are covered below:


Example

Programming a STRIPSEL control is the same as programming the TABSTRIP2 control - just the rendering of the control differs:

In this example, the STRIPSEL control is the control below the titlebar. For comparison, the TABSTRIP2 control has also been added.

Properties

Basic
tabstripprop

Name of the adapter parameter that represents the control in the adapter.

Optional  
align

Horizontal alignment of control in its column.

Each control is "packaged" into a column. The column itself is part of a row (e.g. ITR or TR). Sometimes the size of the column is bigger than the size of the control itself. In this case the "align" property specifies the position of the control inside the column. In most cases you do not require the align control to be explicitly defined because the size of the column around the controls exactly is sized in the same way as the contained control.

If you want to directly control the alignment of text: in most text based controls there is an explicit property "textalign" in which you align the control's contained text.

Optional

left

center

right

scrollable

Flag that indicates if the control shows scroll icons on the right upper corner. Default is true

Optional

true

false

backgroundstyle

CSS style definition that is directly passed into this control.

With the style you can individually influence the rendering of the control. You can specify any style sheet expressions. Examples are:

border: 1px solid #FF0000

background-color: #808080

You can combine expressions by appending and separating them with a semicolon.

Sometimes it is useful to have a look into the generated HTML code in order to know where direct style definitions are applied. Press right mouse-button in your browser and select the "View source" or "View frame's source" function.

Optional

background-color: #FF0000

color: #0000FF
