All these properties are read-only apart from the FieldText string property. The
attribute properties are booleans, the other field properties are longs.
The Field(i).FieldText property
FieldText: String Field text
writes a string to an unprotected field or reads a string from any field.
Text will only be written to unprotected fields. For invalid characters in the
string such as non-numeric in a numeric field, the character for that position will
be ignored and will continue to the next position on the field for the next
character in the string. The string will be truncated or padded with spaces in
necessary.
VBA Example:
If Gl.Screen.FormsMode then
If Gl.Screen.Field(1).Fixed = false then
Gl.Screen.Field(1).FieldText = “myuserid”
End If
End If
