Simple question 2 about input on wizards

[RandyJones]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: I need to gather user inputs in a Wizard.

Description:

Thanks to @avillanueva and @BjoernRueegg and this post https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Customization/Likely-very-simple-question-about-input-on-wizards/m-p/865207#M1969%3Fsource=search I am in the process of creating my own AttributePanelConfig.

My problem is that I can't find the right combination of ComponentType so the label and the input are aligned horizontally. So far all I can get is aligned vertically. Screenshot of what I am getting:

and screen shot of the ootb New Part wizard attributes, note the Label and the input are aligned horizontally, which is how I want mine to look like:

The following is what I am using for buildComponentConfig() and buildComponentData()

@Override
	public ComponentConfig buildComponentConfig(ComponentParams params) throws WTException {

		ComponentConfigFactory factory = getComponentConfigFactory();

		JcaAttributePanelConfig attributePanelConfig = (JcaAttributePanelConfig) factory.newAttributePanelConfig();
		//ComponentType.WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE
		//ComponentType.WIZARD_TABLE
		//ComponentType.ATTRIBUTE_PANEL
		//attributePanelConfig.se
		attributePanelConfig.setComponentType(ComponentType.WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE);

		JcaGroupConfig groupConfig = (JcaGroupConfig) factory.newGroupConfig("customConfig1");
		//ComponentType.WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE
		//ComponentType.WIZARD_TABLE
		groupConfig.setComponentType(ComponentType.WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE);
		//groupConfig.setIsGridLayout(true);
		groupConfig.setIsMultiColumnGridLayout(true);
		groupConfig.setLabel("Input");
		groupConfig.setRenderOnTop(true);

		AttributeConfig input1 = factory.newAttributeConfig("input1", "Input1 Testing");
		input1.setComponentType(ComponentType.WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE);
		groupConfig.addComponent(input1);

		AttributeConfig input2 = factory.newAttributeConfig("input2", "Input2 Testing");
		input2.setComponentType(ComponentType.WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE);
		groupConfig.addComponent(input2);

		attributePanelConfig.addComponent(groupConfig);

		return attributePanelConfig;
	}

	@Override
	public Object buildComponentData(ComponentConfig config, ComponentParams params) throws WTException, ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException {

		Map<String, AbstractGuiComponent> guiMap = new HashMap<String, AbstractGuiComponent>();

		// input test 1 with giu array
		GUIComponentArray guiArray = new GUIComponentArray();
		guiArray.setDelimiter(Delimiter.SPACE);
		TextBox input1 = new TextBox();
		input1.setId("input1");
		input1.setName("input1");
		input1.setWidth(5);
		guiArray.addGUIComponent(input1);
		IconComponent icon = new IconComponent("wtcore/images/part.gif");
		icon.setTooltip("Hello World");
		guiArray.addGUIComponent(icon);
		guiMap.put("input1", guiArray);

		// input test 2 selection
		ArrayList<String> displayList = new ArrayList<String>();
		ArrayList<String> internalList = new ArrayList<String>();
		ArrayList<String> selectedValue = new ArrayList<String>();
		displayList.add("Value 1");
		displayList.add("Value 2");
		displayList.add("Value 3");
		internalList.add("value1");
		internalList.add("value2");
		internalList.add("value3");
		ComboBox comboBox1 = new ComboBox(internalList, displayList, selectedValue);
		comboBox1.setId("comboBox1");
		comboBox1.setName("comboBox1");
		comboBox1.setMultiSelect(false);
		comboBox1.setMultiValued(false);
		guiMap.put("input2", comboBox1);

		return guiMap;
	}

 Anybody have any hints as the what I am missing to get these to align horizontally?

@RandyJones.. can you try using something like below.. you may need to change the numbers to get desired result.
..

AttributeConfig input1 = factory.newAttributeConfig("input1", "Input1 Testing",1,0);

input1 .setColSpan(3);
..
AttributeConfig input2 = factory.newAttributeConfig("input2", "Input2 Testing",2,0);

input2 .setColSpan(3);

..
Thanks,

@Sandeep_S_Desai the only thing this changes for me is the text input will span whole row and put the icon below, for input1, if colspan is greater than 1.

input1 .setColSpan(2 <or greater>); results in this:

Not sure, but try setting this to false:

groupConfig.setRenderOnTop(false);

As I remember, this is the label rendering. So the label is being rendered on top and not left side.

That is it!! Not sure why I had not tried that yet. Setting this to false (which is the default) the labels and inputs are rendered aligned horizontally:
