Setting VisiconX Properties in a CimEdit Properties Dialog Box

To set object configuration properties of a VisiconX object, such as display attributes in the run-time environment, you can use the Control Properties tab in the Properties dialog for the object. The tab provides a simple and quick way to expose the properties of any object. It displays the properties alphabetically.

For example, the following figure shows the Control Properties tab in CimEdit for a Grid Control.

In this example, the current background color for the grid cells is white. Clicking the down-arrow displays the color palette, from which you can select another color for the cell background.

Use the Properties window to expose some properties that are not visible in the user interface such as MergeCells, BorderStyle, DisplayHeader, DisplayRowMarker, Autoresize, and ColumnWidths for Grid Controls and InvisibleInRunMode for Data Controls.

The properties associated with the Grid, ListBox, and ComboBox controls pertain primarily to display properties for the controls, such as the display font and colors for the text and background of the objects.

The properties associated with the Data Control include 32 query properties, 64 column properties, and a variety of configuration properties.
