Hi,
I am trying to reduce the horizontal gap between fields in the grid in regular group boxes.

So far I've tried the following two methods (one after the other), but it doesn't change anything.

  @Override
  protected LogicalGridLayoutConfig getConfiguredBodyLayoutConfig() {
    return (new LogicalGridLayoutConfig()).withSmallHGap();
  }


  @Override
  protected void execInitField() {
    setBodyLayoutConfig(getBodyLayoutConfig().withHGap(1));
  }

I would be glad if someone could point me in thr right direction.
Thanks
Nils

Hi Nils,

overriding getConfiguredBodyLayoutConfig should work. Are you sure it has no effect? Please note that every field reserves a space for its status as well. You can remove that by setting statusVisible to false. To do it for every field in the group box, call setStatusVisible(false) in execInitField() of the GroupBox.

Thank you Claudio,
you are right. It has an effect, but it is almost unrecognisable if you don't see it side by side.
setting statusVisible to false had the desired effect.

Could the gap be caused by the mandatory indicator of the second field? If yes, you can hide it by adding the CSS class "no-mandatory-indicator" (CssClasses.NO_MANDATORY_INDICATOR) to the field.

Kind regards,
Beat
