Specifying additional properties for character columns

You can set two additional properties for character columns on the Display property page: Case and Picture.

Specifying the displayed case

You can specify whether PocketBuilder converts the case of characters for a column in a DataWindow object.

To specify how character data should be displayed:

1. On the Display property page, select a value in the Case drop-down list:

   Value	Meaning
   Any	Characters are displayed as they are entered
   UPPER	Characters are converted to uppercase
   lower	Characters are converted to lowercase

Specifying a column as a picture

You can specify that a character column can contain names of picture files (BMP files).

To specify that column values are names of picture files:

1. On the Display property page, select the Picture check box.

   When the Picture check box is selected, PocketBuilder expects to find picture file names in the column, but displays the contents of the picture file—not the name of the file—in reports and DataWindow objects.

   Because PocketBuilder cannot determine the size of the image until runtime, it sets both display height and display width to 0 when you select the Picture check box.

2. Enter the size and the justification for the picture (optional).
