Each property has its own set of property values that you can use to specify the true and false conditions in the If expression. Usually you specify a number to indicate what you want. For example, if you are working with the Border property, you use the number 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6 to specify a border. (The number 3 specifies the Resize border that does not display correctly on the Windows CE platform.)
Valid values display in the Properties view wherever
possible.
For example, the drop-down list showing border selections
includes the correct number for specifying each border in code.
In this case, the number is shown parenthetically after the name
of the border type, such as ShadowBox (1), Box (2), and
so on.
Table 23-1 summarizes the properties available for controls in a DataWindow. A detailed description of each property follows the table. For more information about control properties, see the DataWindow Reference in the online Help.
