Stack Field Properties
All the properties for stack fields are described under Common Field Properties, with the exception of the following properties or values that are specific to the stack field type:
ChildBottomMargin
Specifies the bottom margin (in 1000ths of an inch) around each child field within the composite field and between the child field and the bottom boundary of the composite field
ChildGravity
Specifies the default position of each child field relative to its cell in the composite field. Valid alignment options are:
FA_DEFAULT (system default value)
FA_NONE
FA_TOPCENTER
FA_TOPLEFT
FA_TOPRIGHT
FA_CENTERLEFT
FA_CENTER
FA_CENTERRIGHT
FA_BOTTOMCENTER
FA_BOTTOMLEFT
FA_BOTTOMRIGHT
For more information about the Gravity and ChildGravity properties, see the Gravity section under Common Field Properties.
In general, this property should be set to FA_NONE. To align the child fields, use one of the alignment commands on the Layout menu.
ChildLeftMargin
Specifies the left margin (in 1000ths of an inch) around each child field within the composite field and between the child field and the left boundary of the composite field
ChildRightMargin
Specifies the right margin (in 1000ths of an inch) around each child field within the composite field and between the child field and the right boundary of the composite field
ChildTopMargin
Specifies the top margin (in 1000ths of an inch) around each child field within the composite field and between the child field and the top boundary of the composite field
