The Configure Plain Text task panel enables you to define attributes for a plain text control. A plain text control is used to display a text message with uniform formatting.

The following table describes the properties and attributes of this model element:

Group

Property

Description

General

Label

The label text to be displayed to the left of the control. You can either enter the text directly in the Label field, or click the fx button to define the label text using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Text

The text to be displayed on the control. The width of the control automatically resizes to match the length of the text defined.

You can either enter the text directly in the Text field, choose a field from the dropdown list, or choose Define expression from the dropdown list to specify the text using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Visible

Indicates whether the control is hidden or displayed at runtime.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is hidden or visible, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is displayed or hidden at runtime.

Indent

Defines the alignment of the control within the layout column.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is indented or left-aligned, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is indented at runtime.

For some control types, left-aligning the control hides the label and stretches the control to fill the entire column width; for other control types, it hides the label and left-aligns the control (without changing the control width).

Tooltip

Text to be displayed in a tooltip over the element at runtime.

You can either enter the tooltip text directly in the Tooltip field, or click the fx button to define the tooltip using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Appearance

Text style

The appearance of the text displayed on the control. The following options are available:

Default: Displays the text in regular font.

Bold: Displays the text in bold font.
