The "scene" script context applies equally to panels, forms, and sheets. However, there are some important behavioral differences between those three visual elements that impact how certain target references operate for each, and those different are detailed below. The complete list of target references for scenes is presented in the table below.

The width of panels and sheets is properly setup by HL and any changes are completely ignored, as HL wholly controls the rendering region for panels and sheets. For forms, the width is initialized to something safe by HL, but the author is assumed to set the width appropriately for the contents that need to be displayed.<br>

Context: HL Kit … Kit Reference … Target References 

The "layout" script context governs the operations that can be applied to layouts within scenes. The complete list of target references for layouts is presented in the table below.

width (Left, Right, Number) Accesses the width of the layout. Unless explicitly specified within the XML, the width of a layout is initialized to the width of the containing scene, minus any assigned margins.

Example: result = this.width
Example: this.width = 420

height (Left, Right, Number) Accesses the height of the scene. Unless explicitly specified within the XML, the height of a layout is initialized to the height of the containing scene, minus any assigned margins.

Example: result = this.height
Example: this.height = 420

left (Left, Right, Number) Accesses the position of the left edge of the layout within the containing visual element.

Example: result = this.left
Example: this.left = 42

top (Left, Right, Number) Accesses the position of the top edge of the layout within the containing visual element.

Example: result = this.top
Example: this.top = 42

right (Right, Number) Returns the position of the right edge of the layout within the containing visual element.

Example: result = this.right

bottom (Right, Number) Returns the position of the bottom edge of the layout within the containing visual element.

Example: result = this.bottom

visible (Left, Right, Number) Controls the visibility of the layout within the containing visual element. A non-zero value indicates the layout is visible and a zero value indicates hidden.

Example: result = this.visible
Example: this.visible = 1

scrollbar (Right, Number) Returns the width of a scroller, in pixels.

Example: result = this.scrollbar

autotop (Left, Right, Number)
autobottom (Left, Right, Number)
autoleft (Left, Right, Number)
autoright (Left, Right, Number)
autowidth (Left, Right, Number)
autoheight (Left, Right, Number)
autogap (Left, Right, Number)
autoplace[gap] (Right, Number)
