Horizontal alignment is performed for the controls
that are placed between a layout rule with the Merge property set to
True and the next layout rule. Therefore, to cancel merging for all of the
following controls, you have to add a PXLayoutRule component with or
without the Merge property specified.
Example
As an example of the use of the Merge property, the Billing
Settings tab item on the Customers (AR303000) form has three pairs of merged check boxes in the
Print and Email Settings group. This property forces the system to
render the boxes in one column, as shown in the following screenshot.Figure 1. The boxes merged into a single column on the form
Dependencies
A PXLayoutRule component with the Merge property
value set to True is handled as follows:
If the ColumnWidth property value is set for the same
PXLayoutRule component, the value is ignored.
The default values for the ControlSize and
LabelsWidth properties are inherited from the previously declared
PXLayoutRule component with the StartRow or
StartColumn property value set to True. You can override these
property values, if necessary, by specifying the ControlSize and
LabelsWidth property values from the predefined list of options. (See
Predefined Size Values for details.)
