The following properties can be changed for an input field of a screen in a UTS project.
Data
| Property | Use |
|---|---|
| DataType | Indicates the data type of the field. The types map to C# data types. |
| DoubleByteField | Indicates whether or not the field holds double byte characters. |
| InitialValue | Indicates the initial value of the field. |
Host App Compatibility
| Property | Use |
|---|---|
| ApplyHostStylesOnOutput | If True, indicates that the attributes sent from the host application influence the rendered control styles. Refer to Modifying the Styles for T27 and UTS Projects. |
| TrimWhiteSpace | Collapses sequences of space characters into a single space for output only fields. When False, the fixed-font column data spacing is maintained. |
Misc
| Property | Use |
|---|---|
| ID | Identifies the programmatic name of the field. Used for control name or Web service method parameter. Note: Do not update the field with any of these values: SubmitOnGet, Security, and PrimaryField. Updating the field with these values might result in a naming conflict that cause various errors. |
| Description | Contains a short text description of the use of the field. Used for Web service method documentation and for initial tool tip text. This value may also be appended to the validation error message if the Required or Pattern validation property is configured and an error is detected. Refer to the topic Runtime Error Checking for Message Fields for more information. |
Presentation
| Property | Use |
|---|---|
| Columns | If the ControlStyle is set to TextBox, indicates the visible number of columns. |
| ControlStyle | Indicates the style of the control when generated for the field. Each presentation type renders these differently. |
| ReadOnly | When True, indicates that the field of the screen is Protected Transmittable and the generated page or method attempts to restrict input into this field. If the runtime field is Protected Transmittable, any changed data is not sent to the host, regardless of the setting of this field. |
| Rows | Identifies the number of lines of display if the ControlStyle property is set to Textbox and the TextMode property is set to MultiLine. |
| TextMode | Identifies the behavior if the ControlStyle property is set to TextBox. Possible values are SingleLine, MultiLine, and Password. |
