TEXT Property

8.7C, PLBCMP GUI Only

The TEXT property specifies the text displayed in an object. The property uses the following format:

TEXT={value}

Note the following:

1. TEXT may be used in GETPROP and SETPROP statements.

2. {value} is a Character String Variable or literal that is displayed.

3. If the object is an EDITTEXT or EDITNUMBER, the property works in conjunction with the TEXTOUTCONV property.

4. For LABELTEXT objects, the maximum length of the {value} string is 4,096 bytes.

5. When using the SETPROP with a TEXT property that is null on an EDITDATETIME object, the current workstation date timestamp sets the object. In addition, if the EDITDATETIME object has the SHOWCHECKBOX property set to ON, the checked state for the EDITDATETIME check is set.
