Properties of a Table control

Use the following tabs to configure a table.

General

Name	Description
Type	The type of the control.
Name	A unique name for the table.
Enabled	Enables the control at runtime. (Default: Selected)
Security token	Makes the information in the form secure. See Security tokens.
Visible	Makes the control visible at runtime. (Default: Selected)
Auto fit	Adjusts the last column's width to fit the table width. (Default: Selected) If the table width exceeds the combined columns' width, the width of the last column increases to fill the available space. Similarly, if the table width becomes less than the width of the combined columns, the width of the last column reduces proportionally to fit the available space. For example, in a table of three columns, where each column is 100 mm wide, and if the total table width is set to 400 mm, then the width of the last column increases to 200 mm. If the table width is set to 250 mm, then the width of the last column becomes 50 mm. See the Example for more scenarios of resulting columns based on Width mode and Auto fit properties.
Multi-select	If selected, displays a check box column at runtime and allows you to select multiple or all rows. The check box column makes multi-select easier on various devices.
Add and modify	If selected, allows you to add and modify data in a table at runtime. The Add button appears at the bottom of the table on a form at runtime. (Default: Clear)
Modify	If selected, allows you to modify data in a table on a form at runtime. The Modify button does not appear on the table at runtime. (Default: Clear) If the Modify option is clear but the Add and Modify option is selected, the user can still modify the data in the table at runtime.
Delete	If selected, allows you to delete data from a table on a form at runtime. At runtime, the Delete button appears at the bottom of the table. (Default: Clear) You can delete multiple rows in a table.

The following scenario includes a table with four columns. This scenario illustrates the expected result based on whether the width mode is fixed or a percentage, and whether the Auto setting is selected.

Width mode	Auto fit	Column width	Expected result
Percentage	Yes	10, 20, 20, 30	The last column fits to 50%
Percentage	Yes	50, 50, 50, 50	A scroll bar appears, and all columns fit the correct size, which is 50% of the table width.
Percentage	No	10, 20, 20, 30	All columns display as configured.
Percentage	No	50, 50, 50, 50	A scroll bar appears, and all columns fit the correct size, which is 50% of the table width.
Fixed	Yes	100, 200, 200, 300	The last column uses the remainder of the table.
Fixed	Yes	500, 500, 500, 500	A scroll bar appears, and all columns fit the correct size, which is 500 pixels of the table width.
Fixed	No	100, 200, 200, 300	All columns display as configured with space at the end of the table.
Fixed	No	500, 500, 500, 500	A scroll bar appears, and all columns fit the correct size, which is 500 pixels of the table width.
