Dialog Object Dialog Window

The dialog window is not a dialog object in the sense of a dialog field but basic settings for the entire dialog mask are made here.

The dialog window properties are displayed if

Several dialog objects were marked in the user dialog or no object is marked.
The background of the user dialog was clicked. This is the easiest possibility to display the dialog window properties.

The dialog window has the following properties:

Caption	Caption of the dialog window This input also appears in the Windows Task bar. The default setting for the Caption is the dialog name. Every change is also visible at the top of the dialog window. Using the button with the 3 dots, this value can be gathered for every language in the dialog.
Type	Indicators of which type of dialog object is active.
Languages	Separated by commas, a list of available languages of the dialog is entered. The name or short cut can be random.
active language	The active language can be chosen from the list of languages. This will be changed over immediately. The active language is only valid for the development system. For the runtime the language set by f$SetLanguage is always used or alternatively, the first language to be defined.
Top / Left	Current position
Width / Height	Here the current size of the dialog window is displayed or changed in pixel. In a succession of dialogs, setting a consistent size can present a more tranquil picture.Furthermore the presentability of the dialog mask can be checked in other screen resolutions here. Note.: the size can also be adjusted by dragging the window edge.
Grid	Setting a grid for the positioning of the dialog objects. Grid values of 0 to 600 (logic value, no pixel) are available but the default setting of 60 is very well suited to most dialogs. The arrangement can be adapted later on using the functions in the context menu.
Store position	The position of the dialog window in the dialog is saved when this option is activated and positioned at this point when running. Different screen resolutions should be considered when using this property.
Width and Height of the help	Dimensions of the help window. If 0 is displayed the default dimensions are used (650x520).
Show closebutton	Controls whether or not the cross symbol to close something is active in the dialog during runtime.
Icon	The name of a 16x16 icon which is displayed at the top left of the dialog.
Font…	Determining the font type (Font,Color, Size,...) for new dialog objects. The font type of existing dialog objects is executed using the font type button after clicking on the object or using the font type context menu for more than one object.
On open	At this point a decision table can be entered which is called when the dialog is opened.
On open active	Buttons to indicate whether or not the DT has been activated.
Before closing	At this point a decision table can be entered which will be called before the dialog is opened. This decision table is also called if the dialog is closed using the Exit icon (x).
Active before closing	Buttons to indicate whether or not the DT has been activated.

Please note:

The dialog window is always selected if more than one dialog objects are marked. However changes made here do not have an effect on the marked objects. Instead, the marked objects can be moved, deleted or edited using the context menu.
