====== DEFPROP property ======

 


 
==== Applies To ====
 
All controls.
 
==== Description ====
 
Returns or sets a value of the default property for that control. The default property is the property which most clearly represents the control's data
 
==== Usage ====
 
//Defaultproperty// = **Get_Property**(//objectname//, "**DEFPROP**" [//,coords//])

//existingprop// = **Set_Property**(//objectname//, "**DEFPROP**", //newvalue// [//,coords//])
 
==== Remarks ====
 
If control is database linked, then setting this property also sets SAVEWARN property for a window and updates the database-bound structures, like the DataSet Object, and enables field recalculation for Native Tables.

 

Values passed in Set_Property:

 

^Value^Description^
|//Newvalue//|Any value appropriate to the specified control.|
|//Coords//|An optional parameter (used for EditTable only) that specifies the coordinates inside the EditTable. //coords// has the format:\\ columnNumber :@fm: rowNumber|
 
==== Returns ====
 
Values returned by both Get_Property and Set_Property:

^Value^Description^
|//objectname//|Control, in the current window, that has focus.|
|//existingprop//|Value of the default property, when Set_Property was run.|

  

Each control has a default property. The controls and properties are as follows.

^Control Name^Default Property^
|CHECKBOX|Check|
|COMBOBOX|Text|
|EDITBOX|TextVal|
|EDITLINE|Text|
|EDITTABLE|TEXT if both //columnNumber// and //rowNumber// are not 0.\\ ColDATA if //rowNumber// is 0.\\ ROWDATA if //columnNumber// is 0.\\ ARRAY if //coords// is not passed or if the //rowNumber// and //columnNumber// are 0.|
|LISTBOX|Text|
|RADIOBUTTON|Check|
