These options are also available on PainterBar2.
If you are sliding columns up
Even blank columns have height; if you want columns to slide up, you need to
specify as Autosize Height all columns above them that might be blank and that
you want to slide other columns up through.
Example
In a mailing label that includes first and last names, as well as address
information, you can use sliding to combine the columns appropriately.
In the following label,
emp_lname, the comma, state, and zip_code are
specified as slide left. Edges are shown to indicate the spacing between the
columns. Notice that there is a small amount of space between controls. This
space is necessary for Slide Left to work properly:
When you preview (run) the DataWindow object, the last name, comma, state,
and zip code slide left to remove the blank space:
