I'm trying to create the same cell with African children as here

I went to Add Control - Box and added a box. Then I want to Background - Clipart for that box and inserted the background image.

Now I'm playing with the options, so the image is stretched like a background image, however options don't seem to work. Please see my combination of options in the screenshot and let me know whether I'm doing something wrong.

Hi Rory,

What is the width of the Box control? According to the box background image settings the image is stretched to the 100%/100% of the Box. It looks like the Box is not stretched to the entire width of the content.

Thanks,

Olga

Hi Olga,

You're right about that, thank you.

How can I stretch the Box control or how can I set a specific width for it?

Thanks,

Rory

Hi,

You can control the width of the Box control in the same way as the width of any other control which supports the width property:

  1. open Box properties in PW and go to the Custom Options:

  1. The last tab controls the size of the control:

You can type "100%" to stretch the Box to 100% of the column width.
