Overview of Type Properties

When visualizing interface elements, the technical type properties (data type, number of digits and decimal places, if specified) and - for typing using a dictioanry type - also the further type properties specified there (for example, language-dependent texts) are usually automatically taken into consideration.

In order to achieve as high a level of flexibility as possible in the programming model, not all type properties are accepted automatically. Instead, the possibility is included to determine type properties explicitly and to accept relevant settings. These settings are determined using a Service Object for the runtime object. In this way, the options are still given for standardized visualization, but also the flexibilty of individual visualization options and greater transparency.
