EDIT (Dialog Item)
PLBCMP GUI Only
EDIT={top}:{bottom}:{left}:{right}[ [:{attribute}][:{size}] ]
The EDIT dialog item creates an editable text object in the enclosing rectangle. {attribute} is an optional control field type that may be one of the following:
|
Type |
Allows ... |
|
D or d |
entry of digits 0 to 9 plus '-' and '.' characters. |
|
L or l |
entry of uppercase or lowercase data entry. |
|
N or n |
entry of digits 0 to 9 only. |
|
P or p |
entry of any ASCII character and echos an asterisk for each character entered. |
|
R or r |
read only. The field may not be changed by the operator. |
|
S or s |
no modifications to the field. |
|
U or u |
entry of only uppercase data. |
Note the following:
{attribute} may contain a second character 'R' or 'r' to denote right justified or 'C' or 'c' to denote center justified for the visual output of the edit field. When GETITEM retrieves a right justified or center justified edit field, the data string retrieved is not justified and does not contain leading blank characters.
{size} is an optional decimal constant that specifies the maximum field size.
If the {attribute} is not specified with the {size}, the colon delimiter is still be required. (i.e., 10:11:20:40::20)
