ConsoleForm properties
- delimiters
- Specifies the characters that are displayed before and after input
fields.
The characters are displayed only if the value of the showBrackets property
is YES.
- Type: String literal
- Example: delimiters = "<>/"
- Default: "[]|"
Wherever possible, the first character is displayed before each console field that is not a constant, and the second character is displayed after each console field that is not a constant. The third character is displayed between two non-constant console fields that are separated by a single position.
If you specify fewer than three characters, a default character is in effect for each unspecified character. If you specify more than three characters, the fourth and subsequent characters are ignored.
- formSize
- The dimensions
of the form. The property must contain an array of two
positive integers: the number of lines followed by the number of columns.
- Type: INT[2]
- Example: formSize = [24, 80]
- Default: none
If either dimension exceeds the size of the window in which the form is displayed, the form size is reduced to fit the window dimensions. If a console field cannot fit into the window, the program ends.
- name
- Form
name, as used in a programming context in which the name is resolved
at run time. If you use the name property,
give it a value that is the same as
the name of the variable.
- Type: String
- Example: name = "myForm"
- Default: none
The name property is used in system functions such as consoleLib.displayFormByName.
- showBrackets
- Indicates
whether the non-constant console fields are delimited by a pair
of characters such as brackets.
- Type: Boolean
- Example: showBrackets = no
- Default: yes
