I had just sent an e-mail message to the list about copying a
control/component into a text editor then how you can make a change to
that control/component and copy the modified look at what changed and
then one can attempt to use the property command on that field.
Most component follow the style of
object ...
Property = <Value>
end
Most of the items in between the object and end can have the property
command applied to them. If the item has a period (.) in the name the
current property command seems to not work for me and if there is a #39
in the text string the #39 should be left out when attempting to use the
property command
Any property commands that you find this way and end up using I would
also suggest to send to RBTI so that the new property command could be
included in a future version of R:Docs.

Dawn, thanks for the tip. I will give it a try this morning.
Where will I find Charlie's example? Is it on the conference CD?

There is not a supported property command for that. However, borrowing
Charlie Parks' example of copying the control to the editor, I found
pmauto = true / false seems to indicate the status of the automatic
popup checkbox. So I tried:
PROPERTY <component id> PMAUTO 'True' in an on after start eep on my
form and it worked, turining on the automatic pop up. I then put a
button on the form with PROPERTY <component id> PMAUTO 'False' and it
also worked, disabling the automatic pop up.
Test it to make sure everything ELSE works as expected before using it.
Dawn

Is there a property command to control whether you get an automatic
pop-up menu when you enter a DBedit field?
I looked through the Property PDF and I cannot find one.
I would like to be able to turn the automatic pop-up menu feature on or
off via program control.
