Property

Description

Border

Thickness: Width of the field border in pixels. Color: Color of the field border. Transparent color makes the border invisible.

Color

FG: Foreground color of the text in the field. In the list, select a color.

Font

Standard buttons to set text style (such as bold), size, and font. Note: Type size is measured in points. One inch has 72 points, so 12-point type is one-sixth of an inch high, 18-point type is one-fourth of an inch high, and so on.

Text

Standard buttons to set text format. The W button sets word wrap on or off. Other buttons align the text left, right, center, or justified.

Options

Required Field: If selected, this check box requires the user to enter or select a value before proceeding.

Read Only Field: If selected, this check box makes the control display a value that the user cannot change.

Binding(s)

 Control Only: The control only displays its state. It does not send its data anywhere else or get data from anywhere else. The user can change the state of the control, but the change doesn't cause anything else to happen.

 Data to Control: The control gets its value from the data item with which it is bound by the Time Value property. It displays that data.

 Control to Data: The control takes whatever value the user gives it and copies that value into the data item with which it is bound by the Time Value property.

Time Value

The Time or DateTime variable with which the control is linked. The Select Variable dialog box also has an Insert button that lets you create a new Time or DateTime variable "on the fly" to link with the field.
