Adding tiles to a form grid component

Note:  Before you can add tiles to a form, you must create the tile form to use.
  1. With the parent form open in Design Mode, add or select the grid component in which you want to use tiles.
  2. In the Tile Form property, specify the tile form to add.

    The Tile Form property is located in the Miscellaneous > Specific Attributes group on the Component property sheet.

  3. Use the Tile When property to specify one of these options:
    • Always indicates that the data should always be displayed in tile format.
    • Never indicates that the data should never display in tile format.
    • n specifies a number of characters (n) used to determine whether the data should display as a tile or not.

      If the number of characters (width) currently being displayed is n or less, the data displays in tile format. If the number of characters is greater than n, then the data does not display in tile format. In this case, the Grid View reverts to a normal grid display.

    • V(varName) indicates that the value used for the Tile When property is from an interpreted expression or a variable.
Note: When a tile is assigned to a container that is to present the collection data, you must ensure that the tile and the container match in their collection definitions - that is, any collection used in binding the tile is available from a collection in the container.
