Chapter 4: Properties

This chapter provides summary information about each of the properties that apply to OpenInsight controls.

Each control has a set of properties associated with it that governs attributes of the control's appearance or behavior. Some properties are set when you define the control, while others are defined only at runtime. While you can manipulate most properties through your code at runtime, each time that the application is started the value associated with each property is initialized. The functions Get_Property() and Set_Property() are used to get the value assigned to a particular property, and to set the value associated with a particular property.

In this chapter, properties are arranged in alphabetical order. Each property includes a description, sample usage, and explanation of the usage and values returned by Get_Property() and Set_Property(). Properties designed specifically for use by Lotus Notes developers are labeled with an icon; properties for use with OpenInsight native data only are also noted with an icon.

For more information about properties, refer the Guide to Application Development, which includes information on controls and properties that apply to each.

For the purposes of this chapter the following definitions apply:

Control: Graphical object used in a window or form to process text, or to control processing.

Linked Control: A control that is linked to a data table.

Interactive Control: Any control that can have focus and be controlled by keyboard.
