Defining Split Bars

  1. In the Resource Browser, select a vertical split bar or horizontal split bar, position the cursor where you want to place the split bar, and click the form canvas.

    Note:  The order in which split bars are defined affects their length and attachment points. Each split bar serves as an anchor for the next split bar.

    The horizontal split bar was created first.

  2. Select the split bar, click in the Canvas, then move it into the desired position.
  3. Set the properties of each split bar. Right-click the split bar and choose one of the following:
    • Attach—control the window edge that the split bar follows when the form is resized
    • Style—control the appearance or visibility
    • Lock—lock or unlock the split bar

  4. Optionally, set defaults for subsequent split bars. Right-click the split bar and choose one of the following:
    • Set as Default—apply the current properties (except Attach) to all subsequent split bars.
    • Apply Default—apply the normal Uniface development default properties.
  5. To delete a split bar, select it and press the Delete key.

    Note:  If you attempt to delete a split bar that directly affects other split bars on the form, a warning message is displayed.
