Using the context menu to change the layout of widgets
The context menu displays when you right-click the XUI editor area.
As shown below, the Combine function in the context menu enables you to merge placeholders. If you want to merge placeholders, press Shift and select the placeholders that you want to merge. Right-click the selected placeholders, and then click Combine.
Using the Combine function to merge placeholders
The Split function in the context menu enables you to split a placeholder. If you want to split a placeholder, right-click the placeholder that you want to split, and then click Split.
Splitting a placeholder
When you copy or cut and paste a widget, all the properties of the widget are also copied or cut and pasted. Note that a widget can be pasted only to a placeholder; it cannot be pasted outside a placeholder.
You can copy or cut and paste more than one widget at a time; however, if more than one widget is copy or cut, they can be pasted only to placeholders with the same structure. For example, as shown below, if you want to copy and paste two widgets that are adjacent to each other, you can paste the two widgets only to placeholders that are also adjacent to each other.
Copying and pasting more than one widget
If you want to delete a widget or placeholder element, right-click the element and then click Delete. To delete more than one widget or placeholder element at a time, press Shift and select the elements that you want to delete. Right-click the selected elements, and then click Delete.
To delete an entire row or column, use the Delete row or the Delete column function in the context menu as shown below. Note that when you click Delete row or Delete column, both cells that contain widgets and empty placeholders are deleted in the row or column.
