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.
This property is not available in Web Client tasks.

Password Edit
|
Specifies whether the text entered in the control content should be masked by asterisks. If the Multi-line Edit property is set to True, this property is disabled. The options are:
False (default) – Access is not password-protected and, therefore, the text is displayed as entered.
True – Access is password-protected. Asterisks will replace whatever is typed in this field.
You can use an expression to evaluate True/False condition of the edit control’s password property. If the expression is evaluated to be True, you get to see the dots else you get to see the password characters that you had typed. Since version: 3.3

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.
This property is not available in Web Client tasks.

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.
This property is not available in Web Client tasks.
