Region - List region

Tables or trees (lists) may consist of one or more regions. Each region may have got an own label (header) and specific settings for background colors and font. Within a tree, regions might be defined as sub-regions of tree items. Thus, within a tree, each region might be represented by any number of region instances.

The region is element of a list schema and describes properties of an abstract region, which are inherited by all region instances expanded in a list. Beside list schemata defined in the resource database, list schemata might be defined within an application by defining columns and sub-regions.

Moreover, the region defines the layout for the region label or head line. The region layout does not affect the presentation of the data items in the list, which depends on the control layout, the column layout and specific layout definitions for single data items.
