Chapter 3: DataWindow Object Properties

Properties for Text controls in DataWindow objects

An x in the M (Modify) column means you can change the property. An x in the S column means you can use the property with the SyntaxFromSQL method. When (exp) is included in the description, you can specify a DataWindow expression as the value for that property.
