UnitsPerColumn property for PowerScript controls
Controls
Windows and user objects
Description
UnitsPerColumn specifies the number of PowerBuilder units
you want to scroll right or left when the user clicks the left or
right arrow in the horizontal scroll bar in a window or user object.
The default is 0 (1/100 of the width of the window or user
object). PowerBuilder controls horizontal scrolling automatically
when Units Per Column is 0.
PowerBuilder multiplies Units Per Column by Columns Per Page
to determine the number of PowerBuilder units to scroll the window
horizontally when the user clicks in the scroll bar.
For information on calculating ColumnsPerPage and UnitsPerColumn,
see “Scrolling in windows and
user objects”.
Usage note
To control the vertical scroll bar in a window or user object,
use the UnitsPerLine and LinesPerPage properties.
Usage
In a painter
To specify the UnitsPerColumn property:
-
Enter the desired number of PowerBuilder
units in the UnitsPerColumn field on the Scroll tab page of the
window’s Properties view.
