Bordered Grid Layout [message #1419338]

I am developing an RAP application. It has a composite which is supposed to have a table like structure(sample is attached: Expected UI).

I am using Grid layout for developing this composite. How can I have the borders for the GridLayout cells?

Since there is no way to set the borders for the grid's cells, I try to set the borders for the labels(which are inside the cells). But they do not look as expected. See the attached image of how it looks now (Current UI). There is always gap between adjacent cells.

Is there any othe way?

Hi,
nice to that see such a complex Table (based on GridLayout) is possible
to achieve in RAP. GridLayout has some non zero (5px) values for
horizontalSpacing/verticalSpacing/marginWidth/marginHeight. Try to set
all of them to zero. Afterwards the label borders approach should look fine.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your answer. I did that already. But the problem is that I was using labels to fill up the grid cells. Labels does not fill the entire space of the grid cells. Now I am using Text, which works great.

But still I want the borders to be Dark(Black) and not Grey as always in RAP. How can I do that?

Hi,
you can change the border color with themeing [1].
