Group

Transparent container for arranging components and layout.

WebGroupContainersVisual4 events

Quick start

Add Group1 in the Designer. Use the example in a page method.

Group1.margin = 16;
Group1.marginTop = 8;
Group1.alignSelf = 'stretch';
Group1.visible = true;
Group1.collapseWhenHidden = true;
Group1.show();

Group components that should share layout, dimensions, or visibility.
Choose Fixed, Align to parent, Row, or Column to arrange children.
collapseWhenHidden removes occupied space when visible = false.

Inspector properties

Component options and defaults. Fields without runtime access are configured in the Inspector.

Property / source	Type and options	Default	Runtime access
`name`Name · Identity	`string`	`—`	name
`x`Left · Size & position	`number`	`0`	x
`y`Top · Size & position	`number`	`0`	y
`width`Width · Size & position	`number`	`240`	width
`height`Height · Size & positionA fixed aspect ratio derives height from width. Choose none to edit the saved height rules.	`number`	`160`	heightConditional availability in the Inspector
`itemWidth`Responsive width · Responsive sizeFit content grows the item to its widest rendered child and preserves child intrinsic widths; minimum and maximum width remain limits.	`enumfixed` `stretch` `fit-content`	`"fixed"`	Inspector / configuration
`itemHeight`Responsive height · Responsive sizeA fixed aspect ratio derives height from width. Choose none to edit the saved height rules.	`enumfixed` `stretch` `fit-content`	`"fixed"`	Inspector / configurationConditional availability in the Inspector
`itemMinWidth`Minimum width · Responsive size	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`itemMaxWidth`Maximum width · Responsive size	`number`	`null`	Inspector / configuration
`itemMinHeight`Minimum height · Responsive sizeA fixed aspect ratio derives height from width. Choose none to edit the saved height rules.	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configurationConditional availability in the Inspector
`itemMaxHeight`Maximum height · Responsive sizeA fixed aspect ratio derives height from width. Choose none to edit the saved height rules.	`number`	`null`	Inspector / configurationConditional availability in the Inspector
`itemGrow`Grow · Responsive size	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`itemShrink`Shrink · Responsive sizeAllows fixed and stretch flow items to yield space. Fit-content keeps its intrinsic size so its children are not compressed.	`boolean`	`true`	Inspector / configuration
`itemAlignSelf`Item alignment · Responsive sizeCross-axis alignment for this item in a row or column. Auto inherits the parent alignment; responsive cross-axis stretch retains its sizing behavior.	`enumauto` `start` `center` `end` `stretch`	`"auto"`	Inspector / configuration
`itemHorizontalAnchor`Horizontal anchor · Anchors & offsets	`enumstart` `center` `end` `stretch`	`"start"`	Inspector / configuration
`itemVerticalAnchor`Vertical anchor · Anchors & offsets	`enumstart` `center` `end` `stretch`	`"start"`	Inspector / configuration
`itemLeft`Left inset · Anchors & offsets	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`itemRight`Right inset · Anchors & offsets	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`itemTop`Top inset · Anchors & offsets	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`itemBottom`Bottom inset · Anchors & offsets	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`margin`Margin · SpacingOuter spacing on all four sides, in pixels. Row and column layouts include this spacing between components.	`number`	`0`	margin
`marginTop`Margin top · SpacingOuter spacing on this side, in pixels. Overrides the shared Margin value.	`number`	`0`Derived from saved properties	marginTop
`marginRight`Margin right · SpacingOuter spacing on this side, in pixels. Overrides the shared Margin value.	`number`	`0`Derived from saved properties	marginRight
`marginBottom`Margin bottom · SpacingOuter spacing on this side, in pixels. Overrides the shared Margin value.	`number`	`0`Derived from saved properties	marginBottom
`marginLeft`Margin left · SpacingOuter spacing on this side, in pixels. Overrides the shared Margin value.	`number`	`0`Derived from saved properties	marginLeft
`visible`Visible · Behavior	`boolean`	`true`	visible
`collapseWhenHidden`Collapse when hidden · BehaviorRemoves the component from the layout while it is not visible.	`boolean`	`true`	collapseWhenHidden
`enabled`Enabled · Behavior	`boolean`	`true`	enabled
`aspectRatio`Aspect ratio · Size & positionnone allows free dimensions. A fixed ratio derives height from the responsive width.	`enumnone` `1:1` `4:3` `3:4` `16:9` `9:16`	`"none"`	aspectRatio
`containerMode`Container layout · Children layout	`enumfixed` `align-to-parent` `row` `column`	`"fixed"`	Inspector / configuration
`containerPaddingTop`Padding top · Children layout	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`containerPaddingRight`Padding right · Children layout	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`containerPaddingBottom`Padding bottom · Children layout	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`containerPaddingLeft`Padding left · Children layout	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`containerGap`Gap · Children layout	`number`	`0`	Inspector / configuration
`containerWrap`Wrap · Children layout	`boolean`	`false`	Inspector / configuration
`containerJustifyContent`Justify content · Children layout	`enumstart` `center` `end` `space-between` `space-around`	`"start"`	Inspector / configuration
`containerAlignItems`Default alignment · Children layoutDefault cross-axis alignment for children. Each child can override it with Item alignment.	`enumstart` `center` `end` `stretch`	`"start"`	Inspector / configuration
`currentRowBindings`Current row · DataBind writable visual values to fields of this repeated row.	`current-row-bindings`Editor: current-row-bindings	`[]`	currentRowBindings

    event: Event,
  ): Promise<void> {
    console.log(sender.name, event.type);
  }
}

import type { WebGroup } from '@webrad/runtime';
// Copy this method into the page class and link it in Interaction.
class Example {

    console.log(sender.name, event.type);
  }
}

  ): Promise<void> {
    console.log(sender.name, event.type);
  }
}
