Naming controls in a DataWindow object
You use names to identify columns and other controls in
validation rules, filters, PowerScript functions, and DataWindow
expression functions.
The DataWindow painter automatically generates names for all
controls in a DataWindow object. To name columns, labels, and
headings, the DataWindow painter uses database and extended attribute
information. To name all other controls, it uses a system of prefixes.
You can control the prefixes used for automatic name generation and
you can specify the name of any control explicitly.
To specify prefixes for naming controls systematically in a
DataWindow object
-
Select Design>Options from the menu bar and then select
the Prefixes tab. -
Change prefixes as desired and click OK.
To specify a name of a control in a DataWindow object

select the General tab in the Properties view. -
