Check Box object options
Checked Value Sets the value to be sent to the server when the check box is checked. For example, in a survey you might
set a value of 4 for strongly agree and a value of 1 for strongly disagree.
Initial State Determines whether the check box is selected when the form loads in the browser.
Dynamic Lets the server dynamically determine the initial state of the check box. For example, you can use check boxes
to visually present the Yes/No information stored in a database record. At design time, you don’t know that information.
At run time the server reads the database record and selects the check box if the value is Yes.
Class Applies Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rules to the object.
Single radio button object options
Checked Value Sets the value to be sent to the server when the radio button is selected. For example, you might type
skiing in the Checked Value box to indicate a user chose skiing.
Initial State Determines whether the radio button is selected when the form loads in the browser.
Dynamic Lets the server dynamically determine the initial state of the radio button. For example, you can use radio
buttons to visually present information stored in a database record. At design time, you don’t know that information.
At run time the server reads the database record and checks the radio button if the value matches one you specified.
Class Applies CSS rules to the object.
Menu options
List/Menu Assigns a name to the menu. The name must be unique.
Type Indicates whether the menu drops down when clicked (the Menu option) or displays a scrollable list of items (the
List option). Select the Menu option if you want only one option to be visible when the form is displayed in a browser.
To display the other choices, the user must click the down arrow.
Select the List option to list some or all the options when the form is displayed in a browser, to let users select multiple
items.
Height (List type only) Sets the number of items displayed in the menu.
Selections (List type only) Indicates whether the user can select multiple items from the list.
List Values Opens a dialog box that lets you add the items to a form menu:
1 Use the Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons to add and remove items in the list.
2 Enter label text and an optional value for each menu item.
Each item in the list has a label (the text that appears in the list) and a value (the value that is sent to the processing
application if the item is selected). If no value is specified, the label is sent to the processing application instead.
3 Use the up and down arrow buttons to rearrange items in the list.
Items appear in the menu in the same order as they appear in the List Values dialog box. The first item on the list is
the selected item when the page is loaded in a browser.
Dynamic Lets the server dynamically select an item in the menu when it is first displayed.
Class Lets you apply CSS rules to the object.
Initially Selected Sets the items selected in the list by default. Click the item or items in the list.
