WEB EDITOR
Field Properties
 Most
of the fields available in the Fields
panel of
the Web Editor have a set of initializing properties, displayed on the
left side of the panel. You have to set those properties before you drag
and drop the field on the page.
The initializing field properties vary depending on the type of
the page visible in the Web Editor and the field
type selected in the panel.
This page covers the properties available for the common field types.
The properties of the special objects (the gray buttons in the fields list)
are explained in the Page Types section. |

Text Fields
Text fields here refer to all field
types which contain text, or can be represented
like text, such as Memo, Numbers, Currency, Combo Box etc.
Buttonize (check box)
Check this box if you want to render the corresponding field as a button graphic
(with the field's text contents used as a caption). This option is equivalent
to the BUTTON() macros (see Macros).
Characters (combo box)
This option allows you to include only the first N characters from a
field in the resulting page (where N is the value selected in the combo box).
This option is useful for creating indexes together with the Group Header
and Group Footer objects available in the Lister pages.
This option is equivalent to the COPY() macros
(see Macros).
