What are properties?<br />

Properties<br />

Each object in a <strong>Form</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> application possesses characteristics known as properties. An object’s<br />

properties determine its appearance and functionality.<br />

About setting and modifying properties<br />

Each property description includes a Set heading that describes how you can set the property; either<br />

declaratively in <strong>Form</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> (using the Property Palette), programmatically at runtime, or both.<br />

Setting Properties Programmatically<br />

To dynamically modify object properties programmatically, use the following <strong>Form</strong> <strong>Builder</strong> built-ins<br />

subprograms:<br />

• SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_FORM_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_ITEM_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_LOV_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_PARAMETER_ATTR<br />

• SET_RADIO_BUTTON_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_RECORD_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_RELATION_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_TAB_PAGE_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_VIEW_PROPERTY<br />

• SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY<br />

You can programmatically determine the settings of most properties by using the set of corresponding<br />

built-ins to get properties (e.g., GET_ITEM_PROPERTY).
