The values shown to the end user.
You can enter a set of comma-delimited options that will be displayed for the control but are not return values.
Note:
-
The number of entries in the Display List property must be zero or match the number of entries in the Items List property.
-
The Display List values must be entered in the same order as the return values entered for the Items List property.
For example, if you enter 1, 2, 3 in the Items List property field, where 1 is red, 2 is blue, and 3 is green, the red, blue, and green values must be entered in the order of 1, 2, 3.
To enter a blank entry, use an escape character, the backslash (\), followed by a space: \ . To display a backslash as the last character of the last item, use two backslash characters. For example: A combo box that has the items of A:\ and C:\ should have its Items list set with A:\\,C:\\.
When the Display List property is blank, the options entered in the Items List property field are both display and return strings. When there are Item List values and Source Table values (from the Data Source Number property), the Display List values must first represent the Items List values and then the Source Table values.
For Tab controls, you can insert an ampersand (&) in front of an entry to enable the use of an accelerator key for that tab. The underline indicator under the accelerator letter will be seen only when the Tab control's title color is set. (Since version: 3.2a)
Platform specific: For Tab controls on mobile devices, refer to:How Do I Use the Tab Control on Mobile Devices?
