Format

Box (row1,column1) (row2,column2) "Heading"

Tips
& Tricks
  • You may use screen variables within the heading text, e.g.
     Box(10,20) (16,44) "Invoice data for &F[Ref number]"
  • When you place an Image within a Box, we suggest, for esthetic reasons, that you use somewhat larger coordinates for the top left hand corner of the image, e.g.
     Box (10,20) (16,44) "Heading"
     Image (10.2,20.5) (16,44) "Image file"
  • Please have a look at the examples in GuiXT tutorials 2 and 3 and Designer tutorials 6 and 7.
