Tuesday, July 22, 2008 Tip of the Day: Assigning Default Component IDs for Form, Label, and Report Controls
Supported Versions: . R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.4.30728 or higher) . R:BASE C/S:I 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.4.30728 or higher) . R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.18.30728 or higher) Did you know that while in the Form, Label or Report Designer, placing a new control can also assign a default Component ID to that particular control? Of course, you can always overwrite the default name assigned, if you wish. This enhancement is implemented to ameliorate the use of the PROPERTY and GETPROPERTY commands. To incorporate this cool feature, you must first enable the check box for "Add Default Component ID" within your Form, Label, and Report Default Settings. -- For the Form Designer Database Explorer|Main Menu|Settings|Form Designer [x] Add Default Component ID -- For the Report/Label Designers Database Explorer|Main Menu|Settings|Report/Label Designers [x] Add Default Component ID Have fun! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
