4-76 Widget Properties
4-76
Append Extra
Blank
Select this checkbox if you want a blank row to always be
present at the end of the list. This is useful when the user
is able to select the position of new entrants to the list. By
placing the focus on the blank row at the end, the new list
entrant will be added to the end of the list. Placing the
focus on an existing list entry will have the new list entrant
added above this selection. This behaviour is exhibited in
the Current Component List on the Components tab of the
Fluid Package property view.
Initially
Selected
Select this checkbox if you want to have an item selected
in the widget when the property view is re-opened. This
option retrieves the list item identified in the track moniker
and tries to match this information to an item that you may
have coded (i.e. by name). If no match is found, the first
item in the list becomes the selected item and this
information is sent to the track moniker. A selected item
does not necessarily have the focus.
Source
Widget
Allows you to choose a widget that will provide required
information when any message is fired. It is used to
‘populate’ the arguments for a message.
Target
Widget
By making a selection from this drop-down list, you are
instructing the enumeration list widget to receive its
information from the Target Widget. When a target
widget is selected, the target moniker must correspond to
a variable associated with the target widget.
For an example, see the Target Widget property for the
text entry widget.
Abbrev Keys Select this checkbox if you want the focus in the list to
move to the first occurrence of the letter or letter
combination that the user types.
Draw Border Select this checkbox if you would like a rectangular area
around the enumeration list to have a three-dimensional
sunken effect.
Tab Stops Add values here which correspond to the use of ‘\t’, the tab
character, in the enumeration labels that will populate the
enumeration list widget.
If there are two occurrences of the tab character in the
enumeration labels that will fill the widget, there should be
two tab stops, indicating the position to start the label after
the tab. With 2 tab stops, it will seem as though there are
three columns of information in the enumeration list
widget.
Column
Width
If you provide a value (the width of each column) in this
cell, list entries will wrap to the right in to a new column
when the current widget size has been reached. If no value
is provided, the list will keep expanding in a single column
with the appearance of scroll bars when the widget height
has been reached.
