Tip of the Day: Using Wild Card Symbols in PROPERTY Command

Supported Versions:

. R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.1.30504 or higher)
. R:BASE C/S:I 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.1.30504 or higher)
. R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.15.30504 or higher)

Did you know that you can use the connected database wild card
symbols (also known as MANY) to change the PROPERTY of all
controls with matching Component IDs at once?

-- Example 01:

    PROPERTY FontControl% VISIBLE 'FALSE'
    RETURN

-- Example 02:

    PROPERTY %ontControl VISIBLE 'FALSE'
    RETURN

-- Example 03:

    PROPERTY %ontCon% VISIBLE 'FALSE'
    RETURN

Imagine the possibilities!

Have fun implementing all of the requested enhancements in
R:BASE 7.6 and Turbo V-8 applications.

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
