The Advanced Properties dialog allows you to set advanced properties for the selected image.
This dialog includes the following options:
| Private Data | Enter any private data about the selected image. Private data is an annotation containing any character data that you can attach to an object. This annotation is only informational and not used by the code. The GUI Designer reads and writes private data as comments in the Run-time Attribute and AppBuilder Settings section of procedure files. |
| Characters | Select this option to write image size and position in character units. The AppBuilder writes the values entered in Column, Row, Width, and Height on the EDITOR Property Sheet in character units using the Size and At phrases in the DEFINE IMAGE and DEFINE FRAME statements. |
| Pixels | Select this option to write image size and position in pixel units. The AppBuilder writes the values entered in X, Y, Width Pixels, and Height Pixels in pixel units using the Size and At phrases in the DEFINE FRAME statement. |
| Custom Lists | Select the custom list check box to add the image name to the
selected custom list. For example, select the {&List-1} check
box to add the image name to custom list &List-2. One of six user-defined, alphabetical lists of space-delimited object names represented by the preprocessor names (&List-1, &List-2, &List-3,&List-4, &List-5, &List-6). You can use custom lists in ABL code whenever you need to represent object names, as in the following example: ENABLE ALL EXCEPT {&LIST-1} WITH FRAME {&FRAME-NAME}. HIDE {&LIST-2} WITH FRAME {&FRAME-NAME}. The GUI Designer adds an object name to a custom list whenever you activate one of the list toggles on the object's Advanced Property Sheet. Objects that are cut or deleted from a procedure file are automatically removed from the appropriate list. |
| X | Enter a value in pixels from the window left edge where you want to place the image upper left corner. |
| Y | Enter a value in pixels from the window top edge where you want to place the image upper left corner. |
| Width Pixels | Enter a value for the number of pixel units wide to make the image. |
| Height Pixels | Enter a value for the number of pixel units high to make the image. |
| Left-Align | Select this option to position the image left edge along the column / X position specified. |
| Right-Align | Select this option to position the image right edge along the column / X position specified. |
| Advanced Settings | This section allows you to select advanced run-time properties and other ABL related options for the selected image. |
| Current Layout | Displays the current layout used to display the image. |
| Sync with Master | Displays the Sync With Master dialog that
allows you to overwrite the current layout with the image default
properties. Note: The Sync With
Master option is enabled if you have defined a
master layout.
