Assigning UI Element PropertiesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • A WD view exists in a component.

  • You have added at least one UI element to this view.

Context

When you add a UI element to a view, this UI element is equipped with a standard set of properties values. By default, e.g., an input field has the length of 20 characters, is visible, enabled and editable ( read-only = false ). You can modify the properties of each UI element. You can do this at design time or dynamically by using the UI Element API. For some UI elements the assigned data type determines, in which way the UI element is displayed.

Procedure

  1. To modify UI element properties at design time, open the View Designer for the view node containing the UI element.

    More information: View Designer

  2. Select the relevant UI element and switch to the Properties view.

    All properties of the selected UI element are listed in this view.

  3. In the Value column, change the properties as required.
