Multi-Line Edit
|
Specifies whether the Edit control can contain more than one line of text.
When using a Multi-line Edit control on a text-based form, the text can be enlarged to fit the entire text. This control can be enlarged to the size of a page and span multiple pages. Multi-line Edit controls that are over a page length continue on the next page with all of Magic xpa’s header and footer mechanisms.
If the control is in a table, the table cell enlarges to fit the Edit control's size. The title of the table prints on each page. Other controls appear either above or below the Edit control.
Note: When the Multi-line Edit control is not in focus, scrollbars will not be seen.

Auto Wide
|
Specifies whether to open the expansion window automatically when required, in an Edit control.

Select Program
|
A program associated with the control, so that in runtime the end user can activate it by performing Zoom. The variable attached to the control is sent automatically to that program.
This is commonly used when the called program is a selection program (defined with Selection Table = Yes), so it is very easy to update the control's variable with an option from a selection list.
When a program is called using the Select Program property of a variable or control, the Parallel Execution property will be ignored and the program will behave as a Modal window (Online – Since version: 2.0).
The Main Program cannot be used as a Select Program.

|
Select Mode
|
The behavior of the select program defined in the Select Program property. The options are:
After – After closing the select program, the cursor moves to the next control.
Before (default) – After closing the select program, the cursor returns to the current control.
Prompt – The select program is automatically executed prior to entering the control. After closing the select program, the cursor returns to the current control as in ‘Before’ mode.
| |
|
Modify in Query
|
Specifies whether the user can change the value in the control even if the task is in Query mode. Since version: 1.5
If this property is set to False, the control cannot navigate through the Items list in Runtime.
