## PPGItem.WidthPercentage

### Introduced

v4.0

### Description

Returns or sets a Long value representing the width of the control as a percentage of the total width of the property page. This property is only applicable if the group is part of a row. It gives a hint to Softimage about how much of the horizontal space should be taken by this item. If not specified Softimage uses its own heuristic to lay out the row.

### C# Syntax

    // get accessor
    Int32 rtn = PPGItem.WidthPercentage;
    // set accessor
    PPGItem.WidthPercentage = Int32;
