CLIPCTRL Property

PLBCMP GUI Only

The CLIPCTRL property specifies whether the area occupied by child windows or objects are excluded when drawing the parent. This property is referred to as "ClipControls" in the PL/B Form Designer. The property uses the following format:

CLIPCTRL={value}

Note the following:

1. CLIPCTRL may be used in CREATE, SETPROP, or GETPROP statements of a PANEL or WINDOW object.

2. Enabling this property may slow performance of object drawing due to operating system overhead in determining valid clipping regions.

3. Setting this property to FALSE for WINDOW and PANEL objects corrects an EDITTEXT repaint problem when the EDITTEXT is disabled and enabled.

4. {value} is a decimal number, a Numeric Variable, an Expression, or a keyword as defined in PLBEQU.INC. The supported values and keywords are:

 

Value	Keyword	Clipping regions are ....
0	$OFF	included. (default)
1	$ON	excluded.

 

5. This property is not available when using the PL/B Web Server.
