Macros
The buttons and allow sorting the list of object properties alphabetically and by categories,
respectively.
For some properties, you can specify only strictly defined values.
In such a case, the value input field will be represented by a combo
box; when accessed, this combo box displays the property values
available for selection.
Placing Control Elements on Form
To place control elements on a form, you need
to complete the following steps:
• Select the form to which you need to add
a control.
• Select the desired element in the
«Toolbox» window.
• Click anywhere on the form. Upon
•
that, the selected control element will be
added to the form.
Drug the control to the desired position
on the form.
Writing Procedures for Control Elements on Forms
After placing control elements on forms, you need to bind those elements to the executable code. The code
responsible for processing events of the given control element is contained in a dedicated «Code» window
corresponding to the given form. There are two ways to access this window:
• In the «Projects» window, call the command «Open Code» from the
context menu of the selected form. Doing so opens the window
containing executable code for the form, so that you can add
procedures for processing control element events in this form.
• Double-click the control element on the form or call this
command from the context menu of the control element. This
brings up a window and automatically creates a procedure there for
processing the driving method of the respective element. Default
events are defined for each control element.
You can switch between the form window and the code window either by the context menu commands of
this form («Open Design», «Open Code»), or with the help of the respective tabs located under the code
window.
Code Window for Control Elements on Form
The code window is a text editor that allows writing procedures for processing control element events for the
given form.
