Case conversion status of a form field. Indicates how alphabetic characters typed into the form field are to be treated.
A 1-character code, as shown in the table below:
Code | Meaning |
M | Mixed case (characters will appear exactly as entered) |
U | Upper case (characters will be converted to upper case) |
L | Lower case (characters will be converted to lower case) |
A user-assigned numeric identifier for the form field.
An integer (0 to 999)
If no number is assigned, 0 is used.
FNum can be used in an application program to identify the form field that had focus when control returned to the program. (See $FieldNum, $MenuItemNum, and $MouseFieldNum in the Language Reference.) For form fields with no transmit attributes, FNum is usually left at 0 unless the BY FIELDNUMBER option is to be used to set the tab order (see the WINDOW SET TABORDER command in the Language Reference).
FormNum, MenuNum, WNum
Indicates the orientation of a scroll bar form field.
An integer code, as shown in the table below:
Code | Meaning |
1 | Vertical |
2 | Horizontal |
A customized error message for a form field.
A message that is output if invalid data is entered into the form field. The message appears in any form field of the “user message” class (FT is set to V and DT is set to M) that is available in the current form or display.
A 256-character string
If no message is specified, the null string (“”) is used.
If no message is specified, default validation error message is displayed. The default message can be customized using the Language Customizer (ZIMLANG) administrative utility.
DT, HelpMsg
A system defined identification number for a form field.
A number (longint)
WdgID and WdgParID are used to create parent-child relationships. A form field is the child of another form field if its WdgParID matches the other field’s WdgID.
Parent-child relationships are used to define relative positioning, color and font inheritance, and effective protection mode.
If an object’s WdgParID is 0, then its parent object is the form or menu to which it belongs.
WdgParID
Specifies the point size of the font to be used to display text in the object.
An integer (1 to 999)
A default value can be specified in the initialization file or environment variable. Consult your Getting Started and Guide to Operations (Windows Version).
If the font size is 0, then the object (form field or window) will inherit its parent’s font size according to the same rules for inheritance for WdgFont.
DM, WdgClass, WdgFont
Vertical margin of an object. The top and bottom margins of the object, expressed in twips.
A non-negative number (longint)
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.
HMargin, VMargin, WdgHMargin
