Description
The Keep Layout State
property is applicable only if the History initialization setting is
on, or is not defined. If History is off, the
layout is not saved at all, neither in memory nor in the Registry. Uniface behaves as if
Keep Layout State is switched off on all forms and in all Grid widgets.
Note: Keep Layout State is ignored when forms are started in the test environment. The layout state is not saved.
Keep Layout State is available as a window property for Form components and as a widget property for the Grid widget. The Keep Layout State on the form level has no influence on the Keep Layout State property of the Grid widget.
If a Form contains split bars and a Grid widget,
the Keep Layout State must be True for both the Form and the
Grid widget for all layout state information to be saved. If it is True only for the
Form, the split bar state is saved but not the Grid widget state. If it is True only
for the Grid widget, the split bar location is not saved, but the Grid layout is.
Grid Widget
When defined for a Grid widget. the layout state
is stored as determined by the component-level Layout State Storage
property. The state of the Grid is not saved in the Registry if the Layout State
Storage property of the component is defined as PROCESS.
