See Also
Hght
A character that is to be used to “fill” blank positions in a (text) form field or the client area of a window when it contains no form or display.
Valid Values
Any single character. If no character is specified, the space character is used.
Remarks
The fill character is not data; it simply delineates the dimensions of a blank or partially-blank object on the screen.
In a field, the fill starts to the right of the last non-blank character (alphanumeric fields), or to the left of any number (numeric fields).
A scroll bar increment. Specifies the amount of movement along the scroll bar when the scale on either side of the thumb is clicked.
Valid Values
A non-negative number (longint) (DEFAULT = 10)
Remarks
The usable scrolling range of a scroll bar is from -32,768 to 32,767. A WdgLargeIncrement outside this range will produce unpredictable results.

WdgMaxValue, WdgMinValue, WdgSmallIncrement
A unique identifier assigned by the Development Center.
Valid Values
A 25-character string (DEFAULT = $Null)
Remarks
ObjectKey is a unique identifier assigned by the Zim Development Center if the Object Manager (ZOM) has been enabled. End-users should not modify its value. Refer to the Development Center documentation for more information.
ObjectKey has a defined ListWidth of -1 and is not normally displayed.
The name assigned to a form (Forms); or, the name of a form used in a display (DisplayForms); or, the form to which a particular form field belongs (FormFields).
Valid Values
An 18-character string, containing a valid object name
See Also
ConstName, DDObjectName, DDOwnerName, DirName, DisplayName, DocName, EntName, FieldName, MenuName, OwnerName, RelName, RoleName, SetName, UserName, VarName
Indicates the maximum length (in characters) of the form field’s data value.
Valid Values
An integer (1 to 32000)
Remarks
If the FieldLen exceeds the visual space available for displaying data in this form field (see Wdth, Hght, WdgWdth, and WdgHght), then the data can be scrolled through the visual space.
See Also
Hght, WdgHght, WdgWdth, Wdth
A user-assigned number that can be used to control the tabbing sequence within a group of form fields.
Valid Values
An integer (0 to 999)
Remarks
If FFSN is set to 0, the software automatically resets it to match the Z-order (WdgZOrder) specified for the form field. Accordingly, if all fields in a form are painted with FFSNs 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 windows.)
