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.
