5.14 Details on the position of the short text, position of the input/output
field
Overview
The short text and graphic text, as well as the input/output field and unit text, are each treated
like a unit, i.e., position settings for short text apply to the graphic text and data for the input/
output field and to unit text.
Programming
The configured position entry overwrites the default value, i.e., only one value can be changed.
If no position settings have been configured for subsequent screen form elements, then the
position settings for the preceding screen form element are applied.
The default setting is used if positions are not specified for any of the dialog elements. The
column width for the short text and input-output field is calculated as standard for each line
from the number of columns and maximum line width, i.e. column width = maximum line width/
number of columns.
The width of the graphics and unit text is predefined and optimized to suit the requirements of
programming support. If graphics or unit text has been configured, the width of the short text
or I/O field is reduced accordingly.
The order of short text and I/O field can be reversed by position settings.
Distance between the input/output field and unit field and width of the unit field
You can configure the distance between an input/output field and a unit field as well as the
width of the unit field.
In the definition line, in the section for the input/output position, enter the distance from the
input/output field to the unit field, separated by a comma (e.g. 7 pixels) and/or the width of the
unit field (e.g. 60 pixels):
DEF VarDT=(R3//0.000/,"DT",,"s"////0,,24/39,,71,,7,60)
Or:
DEF VarDT={TYP="R3", VAL="0.000", ST="DT", UT="s", TXT_X=0,
TXT_W=24, X=39, W=71, UT_DX=7, UT_W=60}
In this case, the distance between the input/output field/unit field and/or the width of the unit
field have/has been configured and the following points should be taken into account:
● The configured width of the input/output field does not include the fixed width of the unit
field (this is fixed at 50 pixels). This means that you directly configure the width of the input/
output field.
● A 50 pixel width applies as default if a width is not configured for the unit field.
● 0 pixels applies as default if a distance is not configured between the input/output field /
unit field.
