An edit style you assign to a column in the Database painter is used by default when you place the column in a DataWindow object. You can override the edit style in the DataWindow painter by choosing another edit style from the extended attribute system tables or defining an ad hoc style for one specific column.
To specify an edit style for a column:
In the DataWindow painter, move the pointer to the column, select Properties from the column’s pop-up menu, and then select the Edit tab.
Select the type of edit style you want from the Style Type drop-down list.
The information in the Edit page changes to be appropriate to the type of edit style you selected.
Do one of the following:
Select an edit style from the Style Name list.
Create an ad hoc edit style for the column, as described in “Defining edit styles”.
