Using the Properties view in the DataWindow painter
Each part of the DataWindow object (such as text, columns, computed
fields, bands, graphs, even the DataWindow object itself) has a set of
properties appropriate to the part. The properties display in the
Properties view.
You can use the Properties view to modify the parts of the DataWindow object.
To use the Properties view to modify the parts
of the DataWindow object:
-
Position the mouse over the part you want
to modify. -
Display the part’s pop-up menu and select
Properties.If it is not already displayed, the Properties view displays.
The view displays the properties of the currently selected control(s),
the band, or the DataWindow object itself. The contents of the Properties
view change as different controls are selected (made current).
For example, the Properties view for a column has tabbed property
pages of information that you access by clicking the appropriate
tab. If you want to choose an edit style for the column, you click
the Edit tab. This brings the Edit page to the front of the Properties
view.
