columns

The columns property specifies the number of columns in which to display the elements of a variable field array.
For example, if the array has five elements and the value of the columns property is two, the first line of the form shows two elements, the second line shows two elements, and the third line shows one element:
myIntArray INT[] { columns = 2 }

The columns property is meaningful for arrays only. To control the distribution of array elements on screen, whether horizontal or vertical, use the orientIndexAcross property.

The default value for this property is 1. You cannot update the property at run time.
