Setting properties for all labels in a form

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by AlHal2

I have a form with about 20 datacards. Each card has a label and a textbox. I want to make each label parent.width/3. I want to set the x property of the textbox to label.x +label.width. I want to set the height and y properties of the textbox to match the label.

It's very time consuming to do this for each control in each datacard.

Is there a quicker way to do this?

Hi @AlHal2 ,

Select the Form, then change the Layout (right panel drop-down) from Vertical to Horizontal, then select the "undo" icon at top right. You will then see the Label and Input controls of all the cards highlighted in the left tree. De-select the ones you do not need (Ctrl-Left Click) and then you can set all the other properties in bulk.

I guess that works. Suppose I have spent a long time arranging the cards eg deciding the X and Y positions. I then decide to make the changes, would I have to rearrange the cards?
Is there a way to do this by going into the code? If so, which file? How easy is it to unzip then zip?

Hi @AlHal2 ,

That process is an undocumented workaround, so you get whatever it produces, however I have never experienced it rearranging anything after the undo.
