About Dialog Controls
! Right Aligned Text
Right-aligns text in the control.
! Enabled
Enables the control, that is, display it in a state the end user recognizes as clickable.
! Indirect
If you mark this, the information for the control is not stored directly in the property
for the control. Instead, the value of the control’s property is used as the real
property name to store the information in.
Example: Suppose a dialog has 3 radio buttons and a checkbox. The radio buttons
set the property RADIO to FIRST, SECOND, or THIRD. The checkbox also uses the
property RADIO but has the Indirect checkbox marked. The property FIRST,
SECOND, or THIRD is set to the checkbox state based on the setting of the radio
button.
! Scrollbar on left side
On a scrolling field control, places the scrollbar on the left instead of the right.
(Usually used with the Right-To-Left Reading checkbox below.)
! Integer
Restricts end users to entering only integers in this control.
! Right-To-Left Reading
Indicates that the text in this control is in a language that is read right to left.
! Has Border
Displays a group box frame around the radio buttons in a radio button control.
! Check Value
If the end user marks the control, the value of the property in the Property field is
set to this value.
Control Attributes
! Transparent
Makes the background of the control transparent.
! Format Size
Attempts to format displayed text as a number representing a count of bytes. The
control’s text must be set to a number in units of 512 bytes. KB, MB, or GB is added
to the end of the text depending on how large the number is.
! No Prefix
Displays any & characters in the control’s text. Otherwise, & characters do not
appear and cause the next character to be underscored.
! Users Language
Makes the text control use fonts created in the end user's default UI codepage. If this
is cleared, the fonts are created in the database’s codepage.
! No Word Wrap
Text is not wrapped to fit the control area. Instead, it is clipped at the right edge of
the control.
! Multiline
Lets an edit field control accept multiple lines of text. If this is cleared, it accepts only
a single line.
! Image Handle
Obtains the image from a handle rather than from the Binary table.
