Settings tab

Overview

In the Settings tab, the general properties for widgets can be specified.

Digits

Defines how many digits should be displayed for decimal numbers. If automatic is selected, all ending zeros are truncated.

In percent

Displays the current number in its percentage representation, with an ending "%".

Grouping

Displays a grouping character for separating thousands, millions, etc. in a number. This option is not available if "In percent" is selected.

Date / time

Defines the format in which a date with time is to be displayed. Possible options are Date, Time and Date Time.

Show seconds

If the time is displayed for a date, you can use the Show seconds property to specify whether the seconds should be displayed.

Show milliseconds

If the time is displayed for a date, you can use the Show milliseconds property to specify whether the milliseconds should be displayed in addition to the seconds.

Local time

Defines whether the time should be displayed in the time zone selected for the current browser. If this property is not selected, the time is displayed in UTC time.

Tab order

Specifies which widget is to be accessed after pressing the Tab key. This widget is selected in the Next widget sub-property.

Remark

• Pressing the Tab key while simultaneously pressing the Shift key navigates back to the previous widget.

Vertical & horizontal binding

(This option is only available for table widgets.)

Here you can select another table within the same page that defines the vertical and horizontal scroll position of the current widget.

Remarks

• It is possible to define the binding between several widgets. You should only ever specify the same table. Example: table1, table2 and table3 should scroll together vertically. Here it is best to enter table3 under Vertical binding for table1 and table2. (Alternatively, you could also enter table2 for table1 and table3 for table 2, but this would result in unwanted effects).

• If a table has a vertical binding assigned, its scrollbar is only displayed when the mouse hovers over it.

Default item

(This option is only available for menu widgets.)

If this property is switched on, a default item name can be entered which is always displayed as top entry in the menu popup.

Remarks

• If the default item for a menu is selected, the GETSELECTION function returns 0 as position and the name of the default item as value.

• Calling the SETSELECTION function switches to the default item, if 0 is used as position or the name of the default item is used as value.

• The default item is not part of the Content of a menu widget, it is a separate widget property. So if the content of the menu is referenced by another wigdet, the default item is not included.

  

Show tooltips

(This option is only available for table and menu widgets.)

This property specifies if the values of the widget should show tooltips.
