Field WdgVMargin

Vertical margin of an object. The top and bottom margins of the object, expressed in twips.

Valid Values

A non-negative number (longint)

Remarks

Indicates the unusable space immediately below the top edge and immediately above the bottom edge of the rectangle occupied by the object.  For DisplayForms objects, this refers to the form object identified by the DisplayForms entry.

WdgVMargin is set to 0 if both VMargin (character rows) and WdgVMargin (twips) are $Null.

Field FSN

The form’s sequence number in a display. A user-assigned number that can be used to control the tabbing sequence within the forms of a display.

Valid Values

An integer (0 to 999).

Remarks

If FSN is set to 0, the software automatically resets it to match the Z-order (WdgZOrder) specified for the form.  Accordingly, if all forms in a display are painted with FSNs of 0, then the Painter’s structure diagram automatically defines the tab order when WINDOW SET TABORDER BY TABINDEX is in effect.  (BY TABINDEX is the default setting for graphic-class windows.)

Field WdgZOrder

Layer position of an object. When two objects overlap, WdgZOrder specifies the order in which they are “layered”. The object with the higher or highest number is on “top”.

Valid Values

An integer

Remarks

The Structure Chart of the Screen Painter displays the relative Z-order of all objects in the form or display.

The Z-order of an object can be changed by dragging the object from its current position in the structure to a new position and releasing it.

FObjects closer to the bottom of the Structure Chart are displayed on top of objects closer to the top of the Chart.

Field WdgTag

A user-defined symbol that identifies an object involved in a user interface event.

Valid Values

A character string, up to 18 characters long

Remarks

When a user interface event occurs, the WdgTag values for the objects involved are assigned to special system variables (Event.EventTag, Event.FieldTag, Event.MenuItemTag). This information identifies the objects involved in the event.  The application program can then translate events into the desired action.

WdgTag defaults to the name of the object.

Field DocName

The name assigned to a document.

Valid Values

An 18-character string, containing a valid object name

See Also

ConstName, DDObjectName, DDOwnerName, DirName, DisplayName, EntName, FieldName, FormName, MenuName, OwnerName, RelName, RoleName, SetName, UserName, VarName

Field AvgSize

The number of records in the database object. An estimate of the number of records in an entity set, named set, relationship with fields or an estimate of the number of records (lines) in a document.

Valid Values

A non-negative number (vastint)

If you enter 0 or leave the field blank, an internal default value is used.

Remarks

AvgSize is used by the strategy analyzer to determine the most efficient access strategy when a database object is used in a set specification. AvgSize does not restrict the physical size of the object in any way.

Field EntName

The name assigned to an entity set.

Valid Values

An 18-character string, containing a valid object name

See Also

ConstName, DDObjectName, DDOwnerName, DirName, DisplayName, DocName, FieldName, FormName, MenuName, OwnerName, RelName, RoleName, SetName, UserName, VarName
