You can set the default value of layoutStyle property for containers.
The layoutStyle for Form, Group, ContentPane and Panel can be assigned value at the same time. The value takes effect when you add a new container into the XUI editing area. The layoutStyle property has two options: 'table' and 'block'. The default value of layoutStyle is 'block'.
1 Click Project > Properties and then click BTT > Project Preferences.
2 Select an option in Default Layout Style.
▪ Table: the layoutStyle property will be set as 'table' automatically.
The layout structure of containers will be generated with 'table/tr/td'.
▪ Block: the layoutStyle property will be set as 'block' automatically.
The layout structure of containers will be generated with 'div'. Under the mode of 'block', it is invalid to combine column or row spans. So the action 'Combine' is removed from the context menu and when you try to change the value from 'table' to 'block', there will be a validation.
