EDITLIST Property (DATATABLE)

10.5, PLBCMP GUI Only

The EDITLIST property allows a selection list of a column in a DATATABLE. The property uses the following format:

EDITLIST={string}

Note the following:

EDITLIST may be used with SETPROP or GETPROP statements for elements of the Columns collection.
This property only takes affect when a DATATABLE is bound to a HTMLCONTROL with the style set to LISTVIEW. Also, the CONTENTTYPE for the column may be set to $TC_EDITABLE that allows editing of the data.
The {string} is a Character String Variable or literal that specifies specifies a list of fields that are delimited using a semi-colon character.
When this property is used, the list string data is rendered as a HTML <datalist> to the client browser and referenced using the 'list' attribute. The control and presentation of the 'list' attribute is strictly controlled by a browser when the LISTVIEW cell has the focus in the edit mode.
