Hi,

Working on the SmartForm is a great time saver but it comes with limitations when a layout is a bit different that just rows of views. I am struggling to make a smartform with a layout attached in the image file. Please suggest how could it be possible to accomplish this. Thank you.

Are you perhaps using the table control?

Perhaps using a table control and merging cells can accomplish this layout.

HI Tin,

 

Thank you for your response. I looked at the Table control but that's not going to achieve the kind of layout I am looking for. Each block is a view created from the smartobject. I do not think Table control cells accept the view. So, views within a view is not possible I guess. Is there any other workaround ?

My aplogies, I didn't fully read the requirement.


 



Using a form and perhaps a content [url] control, I can somewhat create this design...


 



I created another form (form2) that just has the four views, then just set the padding and border size to 0px, then used a URL content control to display this form2.   Likely not the most optimal solution. 

I am currently facing a similar situation. How did you resolve this problem?
