Copy Ispec Properties

The table below lists all properties for the particular element. Not all properties might be visible when an element is added, or an existing element is selected. Some properties only become visible when a dependent property is set to a specific value.

Property	Function
(Name)	Specifies the logical name of the selected element. The following are reserved words and cannot be used to name an element. SUPER, COMPONENT, THIS and OWNER.

Author	Read-only. The identifier of the person who created the selected element.
AutomaticEntryCapable	Specifies if the element is able to accept Automatic Entries.
AutomaticTab	Cursor automatically tabs to next field on a presentation screen at runtime. *Note:* This option is applicable only to the Presentation and Winform Client.
Copies	Specifies the number of copies that can be painted onto a form in Painter for an attribute that is a member of a Copy Ispec.
Copy From Line	Specifies the line number to be the starting point in COPY.FROM Ispecs. Use this property in conjunction with the Copy To Line property and the Max Copies field to specify the group of lines to be repeated in a COPY.FROM Ispec.
Copy To Line	Specifies the line number to be the final line used in COPY.FROM Ispecs. Use this property in conjunction with the Copy From Line property and the Max Copies field to specify the group of lines to be repeated in a COPY.FROM Ispec.
Created	Read-only. The date on which the selected element was created.
DefaultCursorField	Specifies the Default cursor field position, otherwise cursor positioning might be random. You can set this property by using any one of the following ways: Use the Element Picker to select the attribute in the DefaultCursorField property field. Enter the attribute name in the DefaultCursorField property field manually. *Notes:* This property is valid only if the Direction property is set to In or InOut. The attribute being set in the field must be of primitive type or a reference.
Description	Specifies a short description of the selected element.
FullSuppression	Display a zero numeric value as spaces
Inherits	Specifies a class from which the selected class inherits. By leaving the field empty or deleting an existing entry you are specifying that the selected class has no inheritance.
IsInnerClass	An inner class has access to all the members of its containing class. When a complex class is inherited, this property is derived by the child class.
IsResolved	Specifies whether the element exists in the model or whether it has been created during the import of an element which refers to it. *Note:* This property becomes visible only when an element is unresolved, that is when it is set to false. This property can only be changed from False to True. Once an element has been resolved it cannot be made unresolved again.

PresentationType	Specifies if the selected element has a user interface, and what format such an interface takes. Refer to PresentationType Property formats for more information on options. For Copy Ispecs, the default value is Graphical and is read-only. Refer to Defining User Interfaces for more information on using the Painter tab.
