Field object column properties

There are a number of column properties available for which you can obtain and set (write) field values. All of these properties can be read and some of them can be set. To read and set column properties, you use the following prefixes with the specific column property:

Column — Use to read the value of a specific column property. For example, if you want to read the value of the Format property, you would specify Format. This would return the format of the browse column you specify.
Assign — Use to set the value of the specified column property.
Note: For Container objects, there are no column properties for which you can assign the value.

For additional information, see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Basic Development and OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Advanced Development .

Table 7–1 lists the column properties, provides a brief description of the property, and indicates whether the property can be read and set (Write).
