Get/Set Values1

Width

Sets the width to one of the following:

·         A specific value e.g. 300px

·         The minimum value: this results in the Titled Panel Control being just as wide as it needs to be to accommodate its content

 

Note that this setting will be ignored if the parent container layout specifies a horizontal cell alignment of fill (this applies to Horizontal Box, Vertical Box and Column layouts). This is equivalent to specifying 100% above.

 

Warning: when a specific value is set, any margins will be in addition to the specified value and can cause the Titled Panel Control to “break out” of its parent space. Click here for further info.
