Applications

Typically used to show/collapse blocks of secondary content in a panel. The object header is useful for describing its content.

Configure the object

Configure the object layout

  1. To set the initial display of the object at runtime, in the Expanded property select True to display the expanded object, or False to display it compressed.

  2. Set the Height property of the Header and Content child container objects with the desired value, or set Auto to adjust the containers to the content.

  3. To change the position of the arrow in the header or to hide it, in the style sheet Accordion style group, set the Header icon position property (see Style sheet).

Add content

  1. In the Header object, insert the desired content (graphical objects, text) to describe the content of the Accordion object when it is compressed (e.g., a Label object).

  2. In the Content object, insert the desired content (graphical objects, text) to be displayed when the Accordion object is expanded.
