Grid- and Fixed layout - examples

jensthomsen

I'm looking for examples of using the new possibilites of grids and fixed layout in Nav2013. I have read the online help, but don't think that it gives any good examples in code.

Specifically, I have a form in Nav2009 with 3 columns, each consisting of fields with caption. Each column has a header that spans the caption and the fields. Like this:

Caption1_Field1 Caption3_Field3 Caption5_Field5
Caption2_Field2 Caption4 _Field4 Caption6_Field6

Hmmmm. I've tryied a simple gridlayout with one field in the first row (Field1) and 2 fields in the second (Field2 and Field3). The layout is set to Row. Now I want to span Field1 over Field2 and Field and therefore set the ColumnSpan property to 2 on field1. But when I run the page, Field1 doesn't Span???

Here is the code:

OBJECT Page 70000 Maskinstatistik
{
OBJECT-PROPERTIES
{
Date=08-02-13;
Time=08:24:48;
Modified=Yes;
Version List=;
}

{ 1160180001;1;Group ;
GroupType=Group }

{ 1160180002;2;Group ;
GroupType=GridLayout;
Layout=Rows }

{ 1160180003;3;Group ;
GroupType=Group }

{ 1160180004;4;Field ;

{ 1160180008;3;Group ;

{ 1160180006;4;Field ;

}
