Changing text

You can specify the text and text display characteristics for a control in the Properties view for the control. You can also use the Window painter StyleBar to change:

NoteCommandButton text Text in CommandButtons is always center aligned.

The default text for most controls that have a text property is none. To display an empty StaticText or SingleLineEdit control, clear the Text box in the Properties view or the StyleBar.

When you add text to a control’s text property, the width of the control changes automatically to accommodate the text as you type it in the StyleBar, or when you tab off the Text box in the Properties view.

StepsTo change text properties of controls:

  1. Select one or more controls whose properties you want to change.

  2. Specify changes in the Font tab page in the Properties view, or specify changes using the StyleBar.
