Accessing the properties of a DataWindow object

DataWindow object properties store the information that controls the behavior of a DataWindow object. They are not properties of the DataWindowControl, WebDataWindowControl, or DataStore, but of the DataWindow object displayed in the control. The DataWindow object is itself made up of individual controls—column, text, graph, and drawing controls—that have DataWindow object properties.

You establish initial values for DataWindow object properties in DataWindow Designer. You can also get and set property values at runtime in your code. You can access the properties of a DataWindow object using the Describe and Modify methods or GetProperty and SetProperty methods, GraphicObject classes containing properties and methods specific to a given control on the DataWindow, or dot notation.

For more information, see Chapter 6, “Accessing DataWindow Object Properties in Code.” For lists and descriptions of DataWindow object properties, see the DataWindow Object Reference.
