This property applies a Material Design layout to the Entry-Field. With this layout, the placeholder text becomes a floating label when the field receives focus, and it enables the display of optional supporting text beneath the field. The text of the floating label and the supporting text are controlled by the Md-Label and Md-Supporting-Text properties.

Note - Because the floating label and supporting text require additional vertical space, the field’s total height will exceed the value defined in the Lines property.

Fields with a Material Design layout have a default left margin of 5 pixels unless they include a bitmap. You can change this margin by setting the Margin-Width property.

The border of fields with a Material Design layout is colored with the color specified by the iscobol.gui.curr_border_color configuration property. If this property is not set, then a blue color is used.

This property has three possible values:

Note - Using this property with a MODIFY statement to change the layout after the control has been created is not supported.

 

Example - Define an entry-field control with a boxed Material Design layout
