  horizontal fashion inside a FormGroup
---

# FormGroupRow

We can use this formgrouprow control to make a horizontal row of controls inside a fromgroup specifically. It serves the same purpose as of row, make horizontal row of controls.

## Documentation

In Gebra Suite, app configuration allows you to add different controls in your app. It also provides four types of properties which manages how control should behave or look in app. Those four property types are:

1. General Properties
2. Size
3. Style
4. Translation

## General Properties

***

These are the main properties of any control. These properties define how control behaves in Gebra Suite App.

* Control Type

\- For using grid control, click on "Add Control" and select "FormGroupRow" control type from drop down list.

* Control Id

\- For each Gebra Suite app, this id should be unique. For Example: "\_abcdef". Gebra Suite allows you to change its value only once. You can change this id to any value but it should be meaningful. Recommended way is to start with mandatory prefix(set in app). It can contain numbers, underscores, uppercase and lowercase letters.

* Label

\- It is the display value for control. It should be meaningful.

* Refers to Config

\- You need to set this option if this is a field, that other fields refer to, to get data from another config.

## Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will see how to formgroup control to achieve vertical grouping of controls. This control is purely for structuring controls. For this tutorial, we will be using item app. Our has 5 controls: [item id(numbox)](numbox), [| item name(text box)](textbox), [sale price(numbox)](numbox), [quantity(numbox)](numbox), and [quantity unit type(combobox)](combobox). We also updated our app in ["formgroup" tutorial](formgroup), added the formgroups to place controls vertically, and now looks our updated app looks like this:

Now we want to place quantity and quantity unit type in a one line. For that, we can use formgrouprow. Lets add a form group row from the controls list and add it as a child to third formgroup. After that place both iquantity and quantity unit type as formgrouprow childern. Now these two controls with be placed horizontally and Gebra Suite will place them in horizontal fashion. Our app looks like this:

As we can see in the above snapshot that quantity controls are placed in a horizontal line but they don't look very nice. The reason is there are cluttered with other controls. Lets use our knowledge of [Horizontal Line](horizontalline) which is a styling control. This will divide our third form group from others. Lets add this to our app:
