General Properties

---

These are the main properties of any control. These properties define how control behaves in Brixxbox App.

• Control Type

- For using grid control, click on "Add Control" and select "FormGroupRow" control type from drop down list.

• Control Id

- For each Brixxbox app, this id should be unique. For Example: "_abcdef". Brixxbox allows you to change its value only once. You can change this id to any value but it should be meaningful. Recommended way is to start with mandatory prefix(set in app). It can contain numbers, underscores, uppercase and lowercase letters.

• Label

- It is the display value for control. It should be meaningful.

• Refers to Config

- You need to set this option if this is a field, that other fields refer to, to get data from another config.

Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will see how to formgroup control to achieve vertical grouping of controls. This control is purely for structuring controls. For this tutorial, we will be using item app. Our has 5 controls: item id(numbox), | item name(text box), sale price(numbox), quantity(numbox), and quantity unit type(combobox). We also updated our app in "formgroup" tutorial, added the formgroups to place controls vertically, and now looks our updated app looks like this:

Now we want to place quantity and quantity unit type in a one line. For that, we can use formgrouprow. Lets add a form group row from the controls list and add it as a child to third formgroup. After that place both iquantity and quantity unit type as formgrouprow childern. Now these two controls with be placed horizontally and Brixxbox will place them in horizontal fashion. Our app looks like this:

Lets use our knowledge of Horizontal Line which is a styling control. This will divide our third form group from others. Lets add this to our app:
