Check Box Properties

 

A check box that allows the user to select one or more options by selecting the box.

Appearance

 

BackColor

The background color that displays inside the check box. Choose from web, system, or custom colors.

Font

Refers to a type family. Controls the appearance of the text displayed in the check box including size, bold, italic, and underline.

ForeColor

The color of the text displayed in the check box. Choose from web, system, or custom colors.

HelpKey

An index into the Help system to provide default hover text for the field. This property is typically the same as the field ID. Controls on standard Encompass360 forms are all assigned with HelpKey values. Based on this property, appropriate hover text is associated with the control. Custom fields need an original HelpKey.

HoverText

The text that appears when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the field. This text overrides the default text referenced by the HelpKey property.

Text

The text that displays next to the check box on the form.

Behavior

 

BehaveAsRadio

If set to True, the field's unchecked value is not saved to a database when the user clears the check box. If set to False, the field's unchecked value is saved to a database when the user clears the check box.

Enabled

Sets the initial state of the field as enabled (True) or disabled (False). If set to False, the check box is dimmed.

Visible

If set to True, the check box is visible. If set to False, the check box is not visible.

Border

 

BorderColor

The color of the border appearing around the check box and its label. Choose from web, system or custom colors.

BorderStyle

Controls the style of the border. The default property is None meaning no border appears around the check box.

BorderWidth

Controls the width of the border (in pixels).

Control

 

ControlID

Used to identify the control. For example, the first check box on the form will be assigned the control ID CheckBox1 while the next check box is assigned CheckBox2. You can change the control ID as needed. The ID can contain numerals or letters, but it must begin with a letter.

Layout
