CHAPTER 10
Highlighting Information in
DataWindow Objects
About this chapter
This chapter describes how you modify the way information displays in
DataWindow objects and reports based on the conditions you specify. The
conditions are usually related to data values, which are not available until
runtime.
Contents
Highlighting information
Every control in a DataWindow object has a set of properties that
determines what the control looks like and where it is located. For
example, the values in a column of data display in a particular font and
color, in a particular location, with or without a border, and so on.
Modifying properties when designing
You define the appearance and behavior of controls in DataWindow
objects in the DataWindow painter. As you do that, you are specifying the
controls’ properties. For example, when you place a border around a
column, you are setting that column’s Border property.
In most cases, the appearance and behavior of controls is fixed; you do not
want them to change at runtime. When you make headings bold when
designing them, you want them to be bold at all times.
