General Properties of the Dialog Elements

The most important properties of the dialog elements which are shared among most of the element types, are listed here.

Name	Obvious name of the dialog element which is used for dynamically changing the dialog in the DT, for example to blend the field in or out or activate/deactivate it during runtime (optional). In case the rule-based controls are also used on the Web it is recommended that the designation of the dialog elements are maintained in order to make websites clearer.
CSS class	Name of Css class for the usage within Prometheus
attribute1, attribute2, attribute3	free attributes for the usage within Prometheus
Type	Indicators of which type of dialog object is active.
Top / Left	Current position of the dialog element. The position can be changed by changing the values.
Width / Height	Width and height of the dialog element. The size can be changed by changing the values.
Parameter	The content of the dialog element is aligned with the specified ePOS parameter. At the beginning of the dialog the parameter content is assigned to the dialog element and after the dialog has been ended or a value change and property check takes place, the dialog elements text is rewritten back into the parameter. In case the check is activated and this parameter was either assigned a Watch-DT with the function f$WatchDT or the Watch-DT property has been allocated, this decision table is called after all changed field content has been transferred to the assigned ePOS parameter.
Watch-DT	Decision table to be called in the case of value change. Unlike using the function f$WatchDT to assign, this information can also be evaluated when generating the ASPX pages while transferring the rule-based controls onto the WEB.
Font ...	Determining the font type (Font, Color, Size,...) for the selected dialog object.
Taborder	The Taborder of the individual dialog fields is displayed here. The Taborder is important for the field change via the Tab key later on during the execution. For that reason this property is only visible when the field is also editable. The Taborder can also be changed here but it is more convenient to do this using the context menu.
Tip text	Text which appears if the cursor is on an element for a certain period of time.
