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.
The identification number for the form field’s parent object.
Valid Values
A number (longint) (DEFAULT = 0)
Remarks
If WdgParID is 0, the form field’s parent is considered to be the form to which it belongs.
If WdgParID is non-zero, its parent is another form field in the form.
