Screen Painter: Element Positioning

Former Member — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:28:10 GMT

Hi All,

I'm working in SE51 right now, creating a screen layout for enhancing an info type. When I layout the screen in Screen Painter, everything is showing up well organized. When I activate and then go into PA30, the layout is all over the place. What I mean is I have a text field, and then a check box beside it. In PA30, the check box in not even close to the text.

Is there anything that I can do to eliminate the additional space between element so it looks good?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Kevin

HI Kevin,

You cannot delete any unwanted spaces. But you can do two things:-

1. Reduce the window size.

2. Drag the field around to overlap the empty space.

Hi Ramdas,

Unfortunately, your suggestions don't help any. I have tried all those options. What I had to do was set everything to be fixed font. This way everything is mono-spaced and all letters take up the same amount of space. It's not what I was hoping for but it will do.

Cheers,

Kevin
