The AxColumn component has the following properties.

Layout
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Height | The height of the control. |
| Width | The width of the control. Currently, this property is not used by Enterprise Portal. To specify the width of the column, you must supply a Style attribute in the markup. You will do this for all of the AxColumn components in an AxMultiColumn group. Percentage values that total to 100% are typically used to specify the width of each column. The following example shows the markup for an AxColumn component that has 30% as the column width: <dynamics:AxColumn ID="AxColumn2" runat="server" Style="width: 30% !important;"> |
