SlidingContainer Properties
A SlidingContainer Widget has the following properties.
This property determines the bottom edge of the widget and is measured from the bottom bounds of the parent container.
The bottom property determines the position of the bottom edge of the widget’s bounding box. The value may be set using DP (Device Independent Pixels), Percentage, or Pixels. In freeform layout, the distance is measured from the bottom edge of the parent container. In flow-vertical layout, the value is ignored. In flow-horizontal layout, the value is ignored.
The bottom property is used only if the Height property is not provided.

Remarks
- The property determines the bottom edge of the widget and is measured from the bottom bounds of the parent container.
- If the layoutType is set as kony.flex.FLOW_VERTICAL, the bottom property is measured from the top edge of bottom sibling widget. The vertical space between two widgets is measured from bottom of the top sibling widget and the top of the bottom sibling widget.
Example
//Sample code to set the bottom property for widgets by using DP, Percentage and Pixels. frmHome.widgetID.bottom = "50dp"; frmHome.widgetID.bottom = "10%"; frmHome.widgetID.bottom = "10px";

This property determines the center of a widget measured from the left bounds of the parent container.
The centerX property determines the horizontal center of the widget’s bounding box. The value may be set using DP (Device Independent Pixels), Percentage, or Pixels. In freeform layout, the distance is measured from the left edge of the parent container. In flow-vertical layout, the distance is measured from the left edge of the parent container. In flow-horizontal layout, the distance is measured from the right edge of the previous sibling widget in the hierarchy.

This property determines the width of the widget and is measured along the x-axis.
The width property determines the width of the widget’s bounding box. The value may be set using DP (Device Independent Pixels), Percentage, or Pixels. For supported widgets, the width may be derived from either the widget or container’s contents by setting the width to “preferred”.

Remarks
Following are the options that can be used as units of width:
- %: Specifies the values in percentage relative to the parent dimensions.
- px: Specifies the values in terms of device hardware pixels.
- dp: Specifies the values in terms of device independent pixels.
- default: Specifies the default value of the widget.
- kony.flex.USE_PREFERED_SIZE: When this option is specified, the layout uses preferred width of the widget as width and preferred size of the widget is determined by the widget and may varies between platforms.

This property specifies the stack order of a widget. A widget with a higher zIndex is always in front of a widget with a lower zIndex.
The zIndex property is used to set the stack, or layer order of a widget. Widgets with higher values will appear “over”, or “on top of” widgets with lower values. Widgets layered over other widgets will override any interaction events tied to widgets beneath. Modifying the zIndex does not modify the order of the widgets in the Quantum Visualizer hierarchy, inside of a flexContainer or form. The zIndex property accepts only positive values.
Syntax
zIndex
Type
Number
Read/Write
Read + Write
Remarks
The default value for this property is 1.
NOTE: Modifying the zIndex does not modify the order of the widgets inside the FlexContainer. If zIndex is same for group of overlapping widgets then widget order decides the order of overlapping. The last added widget is displayed on top.
Prior to the V9 SP2 FP7 release, the default value for the Z Index was 1. When developers imported any third-party libraries with the Z index set as Auto, content overflow was disabled as the value of Auto is less than 1.
NOTE: The Z Index value Auto is supported only when the Enable JS Library mode is configured as unchecked.
For existing components, the value of the Z Index is configured as 1 for the Native channel. For the Responsive Web channel, the Z Index will be set as Custom with 1 as the value.
For new components, the value of the Z Index is configured as 1 for the Native channel. For the Responsive Web channel, the Z Index will be set as Auto or 1 based on the project level settings.
NOTE: If ModalContainer property is set to true in any of the FlexContainer widget, the Z Index value of that container and all of its parent containers should be set to Custom.
kony.flex.ZINDEX_AUTO : Constant to configure the Z Index value as auto programmatically.
//Sample code to set the ZIndex value to Auto
var flx = new kony.ui.FlexContainer({ "id": "flx" "zIndex": kony.flex.ZINDEX_AUTO });
//Sample code to set the ZIndex value to Auto flx.zIndex = kony.flex.ZINDEX_AUTO;
Example
//Sample code to set the zIndex property for widgets.
frmHome.widgetID.zIndex = 300;
