SmartPanel instance properties

Navigation and Update SmartPanels have instance properties dialog boxes but the Commit SmartPanel does not. This is because Commit SmartPanels do not have any instance properties.

Navigation SmartPanel instance properties

Figure 2–7 shows the instance properties dialog box for a Navigation SmartPanel.

Figure 2–7: Navigation SmartPanel Attributes dialog box

You use the instance properties in this dialog box as follows:

Show Border — This specifies whether to create a decorative rectangular border around the SmartPanel.
Edge Pixels — If positive, this value specifies the width of the decorative rectangular border to be created with Show Border. Setting it to zero removes the border.
’First’ on Left, ‘First’ on Right — These determine the actions associated with the navigation radio buttons. If you specify ‘First’ on Left (the default), the radio buttons perform Get-First, Get-Prev, Get-Next, and Get-Last actions in order from left to right. If you specify ‘First’ on Right, the order of these actions is reversed: the radio buttons perform Get-First, Get-Prev, Get-Next, and Get-Last actions in order from right to left.
Note: The ‘First’ on Left and ‘First’ on Right properties are enabled for the Icons version of the Navigation SmartPanel master (p-navico.w) but not the Labels version (p-navlbl.w).

Update SmartPanel instance properties

Figure 2–8 shows the instance properties dialog box for an Update SmartPanel.

Figure 2–8: Update SmartPanel instance properties dialog box

You use the instance properties in this dialog box as follows:

Show Border — This specifies whether to create a decorative rectangular border around the SmartPanel.
Edge Pixels — If positive, this specifies the width of the decorative rectangular border. Setting this value to zero removes the border.
Save, Update — This specifies whether the Update SmartPanel is run in Save mode or Update mode. For descriptions of these modes, see the "Update SmartPanel" section.
Add One Record, Add Multiple Records — This specifies whether the SmartPanel’s Add button prompts the application user for a single new record or multiple new records at run time.
