Chapter 21: Displaying and Validating Data

About displaying and validating data

When PocketBuilder generates a basic DataWindow object, it uses the extended attributes defined for the data and stored in the extended attribute system tables.

For more information about the extended attribute system tables, see Appendix A, “Extended Attribute System Tables.”

In the Database painter, you can create the extended attribute definitions that specify a column's display format, edit style, and validation rules.

In the DataWindow painter, you can override these extended attribute definitions for a column in a DataWindow object. These overrides do not change the information stored with the column definition in the extended attribute system tables.
