The Area Panel Widget

[A View of a Panel Widget]

View Class: PanelView
Spec Class: PanelViewSpec

The Area Panel Widget arranges other widgets topLeft to bottomRight.
This is useful for button panels.
Notice, that this panel type does not support all those fancy layout arrangements like Horizontal- and VerticalPanels do.
If required, you should place multiple H-Panels into a V-Panel or vice-versa.


The Basics Section:

ID Unique symbolic name (ID) of the box.  
This ID can be used by the application to access the widget via "builder » componentAt:#ID".
 
 

The Details Section:

BG-Color Defines the background color of the widget. 
After selecting the check toggle the background color can be chosen by selecting the desired colored button. If no color  is selected, the widget takes its default background color from the style sheet.
Border Defines the width of the border.
Level Defines the width of the 3D-border. 
Positive values provide a raising, 
negative values provide a lowering of the widget.
Horizontal Space Defines the horizontal space between componentns.
Vertical Space Defines the vertical space between componentns.
Ignore invisible If on, invisible components are ignored in the layout of components.
If off, invisible components will reserve space.

Useful to avoid visible rearrangement of components when some become visible/invisible.

Initially Invisible Turns on/off that the widget is initially invisible.
