Control Elements Modification Control Elements. Creating User Defined Dialog Boxes To modify control elements, the control editing command is provided, “EO: Edit Control”: Keyboard Textual Menu Icon “Edit|Draw|Control” The control editing command can also be called from the context menu. Upon calling the command, the following options become available in the automenu: Select All Elements Select element from list Change Controls Tab Order Set Recommended Page Parameters Exit command The option is used for assigning default parameters of a dialog page to the current page (those set ar creation by the option ). The page being modified is assigned the type “Controls”. This page is automatically check marked in the list of pages under the “Marked Variable Editor” parameter in the command “Customize|Status”. The parameter itself switches to the “Page” setting. The option is used on the pages created or modified by using the commands “Customize|Pages…”, “Customize|Page Size” or “Customize|Grid”. The option allows changing the order of control element activation. Control elements have a certain order that defines transition to the next element upon pressing the keys and , and priority, that defines the order of overlapping of the control element images. By default, both properties are assigned according to the order of element creation. That means, the transition will occur from the first created element to the next one, while the priority of each element is higher than that of the previous, and lower than that of the next one. Upon calling the option , the order number is displayed next to each control element. If you need to change the order of elements, select them in the desired order. To confirm the changes, press the icon or . If you made a mistake when defining the order of elements, press or , and then select the option again. 553
