Specifies the group attributes to be displayed.

BorderStyle specifies the border style of the object boundary.

Most tools use one of these sets of options:

• 0 - ibsNone, 1 - ibsRaised, or 2 - ibsLowered, and the default is 0 - ibsNone

• 0 - None or 1 - Fixed Single, and the default is 0 - None

The Panel Switch Tool uses these options:

• 0 - ibsLine, 1 - ibsRaised, 2 - ibsLowered, 3 - ibsTop, and 4 - ibsNone, and the default is 0 - ibsLine.

For the Box, Frame, and Text tools, the BorderStyle property specifies the style of the object’s foreground lines. The options are:

• 0 - Normal, 1 - 3D, 2 - Sunken, 3 - Raised, and 4 - None

The default for the Box Tool is 0 - Normal. The default for the Frame Tool is 1 - 3D. The default for the Text Tool is 4 - None.

If you use 2 - Sunken or 3 - Raised and the effect is not visible, change the object’s HiliteColor.

If you use 0 - Normal, 2 - Sunken, or 3 - Raised, you can set the border width using the PenWidth property.

For TheFrame/TheView, the BorderStyle property specifies both the style of the object's border and whether the object can be resized by the user in Run mode. The default is 0 - Thin, which means the border is thin and the size is static. The other possible option is 1 - Resizing, which means the border is thicker and can be resized.

Script subtype is integer.

Bottom specifies the distance in pixels from the top of the object to the bottom of the object. You can dynamically change this value in Edit mode if you use the mouse to enlarge or shrink the object.

ContextMenuXml identifies an XML string that defines the contents and Event IDs for the object’s custom context menu.

For TheView, CursorPointer selects the cursor icon that appears when you mouse over objects.

For objects, CursorPointer selects the cursor icon for the instance of the object. The object’s cursor pointer takes precedence over TheView’s cursor pointer.

The default is 0 - Default. For TheView, this is an arrow. For other objects, the icon configured for TheView is used. Other options are:

• 1 - Arrow
• 2 - IBeam
• 3 - Cross
• 4 - UpArrow
• 5 - NoDrop
• 6 - Help
• 99 - HotSpot
• 100 - Timer

Script subtype is long.

Enable specifies whether the user is able to interact with the object. Options are 0 - No and 1 - Yes. The default is 1 - Yes. If set to 0 - No, the object is still visible but its context menu is disabled.

Other options:

• Completely hide the object in run mode using the Visible property.
• Display the object but hide its [DisplayItem] using the [DisplayElement] property.

FlexHorizontal specifies whether the object moves or resizes horizontally or is unchanged when TheFrame is resized. Options are:

• 0 - None (no resizing occurs)
• 1 - Shift (the object is shifted)
• 2 - Expand (the object expands or shrinks the same number of pixels as TheFrame)
• 3 - Proportional (the object expands or shrinks proportionally to TheFrame)

Default is 0 - None.

FlexVertical specifies whether the object moves or resizes vertically when TheFrame is resized. Options are:

• 0 - None (no resizing occurs)
• 1 - Shift (the object is shifted)
• 2 - Expand (the object expands or shrinks the same number of pixels as TheFrame)
• 3 - Proportional (the object expands or shrinks proportionally to TheFrame)

Default is 0 - None.

Group groups objects into a discrete sequence that can be navigated using the arrow keys.

Options are 0 - No and 1 - Yes. The default is 0 - No.

To use this property:

1. Add objects that use the Group property to a screen.

2. Position them as you like (typically in a spatial configuration that reflects the order in which they were added to the screen).

3. Decide where in the spatial configuration logical groups begin and end.

4. Mark the beginning of a group by setting the Group property to 1 - Yes for the first object in the group.

5. Set Group set to 0 - No for other objects in the group.

The group is made up of all objects that 1) are added sequentially after an object with a Group property set to 1 - Yes and 2) that use a Group property set to 0 - No. A group's arrow navigation sequence reflects the order in which its objects were added to a screen.

This property is not related to the Draw > Group option in the CygNet Studio menu bar. This property might not be suited for use with all tools that include the Group property.

Script subtype is long.

See also Tabstop.

HelpContextID specifies the object’s help identifier for context-sensitive help. TheFrame’s WhatsThisHelp must be enabled.

Script subtype is long.

Layer identifies the layer on which the object resides. Script subtype is Boolean.

Left specifies the distance (in pixels) from the left edge of TheView’s scroll region to the left edge of the object.

(ObjectCode) specifies a unique identifier of the object. You can enter up to 39 characters. Valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, and underscore (_). Spaces are not allowed. The default is the object name and the numeric instance. Script subtype is string.

Displays the OCXProperty dialog box unique to the object.

Right specifies the distance (in pixels) from the left edge of TheView’s scroll region to the right edge of the object.

Specifies the root node filter string. Use the OCX Properties dialog box to define. In the OCX Properties dialog box, click … to select.

Enables or disables the node icons.

[SiteService] identifies the CVS, Facility Service, or Group Service for the settings. The format for the value is Site.Service.

If this field is blank, the Site.Service specified for TheView is used. If Site.Service is defined for both TheView and the object, the value specified for the object is used.

Tabstop specifies whether the focus stops on the object when you use the Tab key to navigate between objects (in other words, enables the object as a tab stop). Options are 0 - No and 1 - Yes. Default is 1 - Yes.

Script subtype is long.

See also Group and Tab Order.

Tag is an extra field for application-specific purposes. Does not specify a CygNet point. Default is blank. Script subtype is string.

Top specifies the distance (in pixels) from the top of TheView’s scroll region to the Top of the object.

Visible secifies whether the object is visible in Run mode. Options are 0 - No or 1 - Yes. Default is 1 - Yes.

You can also:

• Display the object but hide its [DisplayItem] using the [DisplayElement] property.
• Show both the object and its [DisplayItem] but disable user interaction using the Enable property.
• Hide the object if the point does not exist using the [UnknownTag].
