Attribute

Description and Usability Guidelines

Tab title

Number of tab titles in the tabstrip control. The field texts <field1> to <field#> are preassigned.

Table type

Indicates whether the table control is for data entry or selection.

W/ ColHe

This attribute allows you to create column headings as text fields or input/output fields.

W/ Title

This attribute allows you to create a table title as a text field or an input/output field. You must create the title separately.

Configbl

Allows you to save the current setting of the table control attributes to a file at runtime. The system retrieves the settings from this file whenever the table is displayed.

Usability note: Switch off this attribute if there is nothing to configure (for example, when the table consists of a single column that is always displayed in full) or if the table control is modified in the program.

Resizing

Indicates a table supports vertical and/or horizontal resizing. Set this if you want the table to change with a window's size. For further information, refer to Tabstrip Control Attributes

Separators

Inserts vertical separator lines between the table fields (columns) and horizontal lines between the table rows.

Usability note: Use horizontal separators with very wide table controls.

Line sel.

Allows line selection. Choose None, Single, or Multiple.

Column sel.

Allows column selection. Choose None, Single, or Multiple.

w/ SelColumn

Specifies whether a line selection column appears with the table. The column is stored internally as a checkbox. For this reason, the selection column requires a name. Enter a name in the space provided.

Fixed Columns

Excludes one or more columns from horizontal scrolling. Enter the number of columns from the left that you want to fix.
