The Advanced Properties dialog allows you to set advanced properties for the selected radio set.
This dialog includes the following options:
| Initial Value | Enter an initial value for the radio set. The GUI Designer writes this value to the DEFINE VARIABLE statement for the radio set. |
| Help | Enter a help string for the radio set. The GUI Designer displays the help string in the run-time window status bar whenever the radio set has input focus. |
| Private Data | Enter any private data about the radio set. 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 radio set size and position in character units. The AppBuilder writes the values entered in Column, Row, Width, and Height on the BUTTON Property Sheet in character units using the Size and At phrases in the DEFINE VARIABLE and DEFINE FRAME statements. |
| Pixels | Select this option to write radio set 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 VARIABLE and DEFINE FRAME statements. |
| Custom Lists | Select this option to add the radio set name to the selected
custom list. For example, select the {&List-1} check box to add
the radio set 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 radio set upper left or right corner. Note: Depends upon the position setting. For example, if Left-Align
is chosen, the value in X refers to the radio set upper left
corner.
|
| Y | Enter a value in pixels from the window top edge where you want
to place the radio set upper left or right corner. Note: epends upon the position setting. For example, if Left-Align is
chosen, the value in Y refers to the radio set upper left
corner.
|
| Width Pixels | Enter a value for the number of pixel units wide to make the radio set. |
| Height Pixels | Enter a value for the number of pixel units high to make the radio set. |
| Left-Align | Select this option to position the radio set left edge along the column / X position specified. |
| Right-Align | Select this option to position the radio set 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 radio set. |
| Current Layout | Displays the current layout used to display the radio set. |
| Sync With Master | Displays the Sync With
Master dialog which allows you to overwrite the current
layout with the radio set default properties. Note: The
Sync With Master option is enabled if
you have defined a master layout.
