The Property Sheet - Combo Box dialog allows you to modify the combo box properties.
This dialog includes the following options:
| Object | Enter a new name for the combo box or accept the default. Note:
If you make the combo box a database field, the combo box uses
the database field name.
|
| Tooltip | Allows you to enter text for tool tip help. |
| Help | Enter a Help Identifier associated with this field. This field is used only in .HLP help files to support What's This? context-sensitive help. |
| Label | Enter a new label for the combo box or accept the default. Note: If you make the combo box a database field, the
combo box uses the database field label.
If you want to suppress the combo box label, select the No-Label check box. GUI Designer adds the No-Label option to the Frame phrase. |
| List-Items | Enter items to display in the list component of the combo box. |
| Inner Lines | Enter the number of items visible at one time in the list component of the combo box. |
| Define As | Select a data type for the combo box. |
| Format | Enter a display format for the combo box. You can enter a display format for the combo box by clicking Format that opens Format Assistant dialog. |
| Column | Enter a window column value (in character units) where you want
to place the combo box upper left or right corner. This depends upon the position setting and whether the combo box has a label. For example, if Left-Align is chosen, the value in Column refers to the combo box upper left corner. |
| Row | Enter a window row value (in character units) where you want to
place the combo box upper left or right corner. This depends upon the position setting and whether the combo box has a label. For example, if Left-Align is chosen, the value in Row refers to the combo box upper left corner. |

| Height | Enter a value (in character units) to specify the height of the combo box. |
| Left-Align | Select this option to position the combo box left edge (or label left edge) along the column position specified. |
| Colon-Align | Select this option to position the combo box label colon (:)
along the column position specified. Note: If there is no label, then
the GUI Designer aligns the combo box as if it had a
label.
|
| Right-Align | Select this option to position the combo box right edge along the column position specified. |
