Introducing the ABL GUI Designer : Reference : GUI Designer dialogs : SmartObject dialogs : Visual SmartObject dialog
 
Visual SmartObject dialog
The Visual SmartObject dialog allows you to specify certain Visual SmartObject instance properties.
Access this dialog by choosing Instance Properties on the SmartObject instance right-click context menu.
The instance properties dialog includes the following options:
Option
Description
Enable
Determines whether the SmartObject instance is initially disabled when it is created at run time. This toggle box sets the Disable-on-Init attribute to YES or NO. The default setting is NO, meaning that the SmartObject is initially enabled when it is created at run time.
View
Determines whether the SmartObject instance is initially hidden when it is created at run time. This toggle box sets the Hide-on-Init attribute to YES or NO. The default setting is NO, meaning that the SmartObject is initially visible when it is created at run time.
Layout
The names of any alternate layouts you have created in the SmartObject's master file appear in this combo-box, along with the [default] option. The AppBuilder sets the Layout property to the value you select.
The [default] option does not set the Layout attribute to any value.
