DataWindow Designer User’s Guide 239
Edit styles
Table 8-8 shows the available edit styles.
Table 8-8: Edit styles
For example, suppose you have a column Status that takes one of three values:
the letters A, T, and L, each representing a status (Active, Terminated, or On
Leave). If you assign it the RadioButton edit style, userscan simply click a
button instead of having to type A, T, or L. You do not have to create a
validation rule to validate typed input.
