Forms: General Tab

Innehåll

# General Tab

This General tab enables you to define the general properties of a form control. These properties differ, depending on the control type. Not all of the following properties are available for every control.

Så här använder du det här kommandot...

#### Från kontextmenyn:

Choose Control Properties - General tab.

#### Från gränssnittet med flikar:

Choose Forms - Control Properties - General tab.

#### Från verktygslisterna:

Control Properties

If you export the current form document to HTML format, the default control values are exported, not the current control values. Default values are determined - depending on the type of control - by the properties' Default value (for example, in text fields), Default status (for check boxes and option fields), and Default selection (for list boxes).

## Aktiverad

If a control field has the property "Enabled" (Yes), the form user can use the control field. Otherwise (No), it is disabled and greyed out.

## Aktiveringsordningsföljd

The "Tab order" property determines the order in which the controls are focused in the form when you press the Tab key. In a form that contains more than one control, the focus moves to the next control when you press the Tab key. You can specify the order in which the focus changes with an index under "Tab order".

The "Tab order" property is not available to Hidden Controls. If you want, you can also set this property for image buttons and image controls, so that you can select these controls with the Tab key.

When creating a form, an index is automatically assigned to the control fields that are added to this form; every control field added is assigned an index increased by 1. If you change the index of a control, the indices of the other controls are updated automatically. Elements that cannot be focused ("Tabstop = No") are also assigned a value. However, these controls are skipped when using the Tab key.

Du kan också ange indexen för olika kontrollelement i dialogrutan Aktiveringsordningsföljd.

## Antal decimaler

With numerical and currency fields you can determine the number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point.

## Antal rader

For combo boxes with the "Dropdown" property, you can specify how many lines should be displayed in the dropdown list. With control fields which do not have the Dropdown option, the line's display will be specified by the size of the control field and the font size.

## AutoFyll

The AutoFill function displays a list of previous entries after you start to type an entry.

## Bakgrundsfärg

A background color is available for most control fields. If you click on Background color, a list will open which enables you to select among various colors. The "Standard" option adopts the system setting. If the desired color is not listed, click the ... button to define a color in the Color dialog.

## Bara läsa

The "Read-only" property can be assigned to all controls in which the user can enter text. If you assign the read-only property to an image field which uses graphics from a database, the user will not be able to insert new graphics into the database.

## Bredd

Sets the column width in the table control field in the units that are specified in the LibreOffice module options. If you want, you can enter a value followed by a valid measurement unit, for example, 2 cm.

## Bredd

Anger kontrollfältets bredd.

## Datapostmarkör

Specifies whether the first column is displayed with row labels, in which the current record is marked by an arrow.

## Datum max.

Determines a date which can not be exceeded by another value introduced by the user.

## Datumformat

With date fields you can determine the format for the date readout.

Alla formatfält (datum, tid, valuta, numeriska fält) formateras automatiskt med det markerade formatet så snart du flyttar markören från dem, oavsett hur du har angett indata.

## Dölj markering

Specifies whether a text selection on a control remains selected when the focus is no longer on a control. If you set Hide selection to "No", the selected text remains selected when the focus is no longer on the control that contains the text.

## Etikettfält

Specifies the source for the label of the control. The text of the label field will be used instead of the name of a database field. For example, in the Filter Navigator, Search dialog, and as a column name in the table view.

To define one character of the label as a mnemonic, so that the user can access this control by pressing the character on the keyboard, insert a tilde (~) character in front of the character in the label.

För alternativfält (radioknappar) kan bara texten i gruppramen användas som etikettfält. Den texten gäller alltså för alla alternativfält i samma grupp.

Om Du klickar på kommandoknappen ... bredvid textfältet så visas dialogrutan Urval etikettfält. Här väljer du ett kontrollfält på listan över kontrollfält.

Check the No assignment box to remove the link between a control and the assigned label field.

## Filtering/Sorting

Specifies to show or hide the filtering and sorting items in a selected Navigation bar control. Filtering and sorting items are the following: Sort ascending, Sort descending, Sort, Automatic filter, Standard filter, Apply filter, Reset filter/sort.

## Formatering

Specifies the format code for the control. Click the ... button to select the format code.

## Formatkontroll

You can have a format check with control fields that accept formatted contents (date, time, and so on). If the strict format function is activated (Yes), only the allowed characters are accepted. For example, in a date field, only numbers or date delimiters are accepted; all alphabet entries typed with your keyboard are ignored.

## Förankring

Anger var kontrollfältet ska förankras.

## Fördröjning

Specifies the delay in milliseconds between repeating events. A repeating event occurs when you click an arrow button or the background of a scrollbar, or one of the record navigation buttons of a Navigation bar, and you keep the mouse button pressed for some time. You can enter a value followed by a valid time unit, for example, 2 s or 500 ms.

## Grafik

An image button has a "Graphics" property. The "Graphics" property specifies the graphic's path and file name that you want to have displayed on the button. If you select the graphic file with the ... button, the path and file name will be automatically included in the text box.

## Hjälp-URL

Specifies a batch label in URL spelling which refers to a help document and which can be called with the help of the control field. The help for the control field help can be opened if the focus is positioned on the control field and the user presses F1.

## Hjälptext

Provides the option of entering a help text that will be displayed as a tip on the control. The tip shows the text in user mode when the mouse is moved over the control.

For URL type buttons, the help text appears as the extended tip instead of the URL address entered under URL.

## Hjälptext

In each control field you can specify additional information or a descriptive text for the control field. This property helps the programmer to save additional information that can be used in the program code. This field can be used, for example, for variables or other evaluation parameters.

## Höjd

Anger kontrollfältets höjd.

## Ikonfärg

Anger färgen för ikoner eller kontroller, till exempel pilarna i en rullningslist.

## Ikonstorlek

Specifies whether the icons in a selected Navigation bar should be small or large.

## Inmatningsmask

Defines the edit mask. By specifying a character code you can determine what the user can enter in the control field. By specifying the character code in pattern fields, you can determine what the user can enter in the pattern field.

The length of the edit mask determines the number of the possible input positions. If the user enters characters that do not correspond to the edit mask, the input is rejected when the user leaves the field.

You can enter the following characters to define the edit mask:

Tecken | Innebörd
--- | ---
L | A text constant. This position cannot be edited. The character is displayed at the corresponding position of the Literal Mask.
a | The characters a-z and A-Z can be entered. Capital characters are not converted to lowercase characters.
A | The characters A-Z can be entered. If a lowercase letter is entered, it is automatically converted to a capital letter.
c | The characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 can be entered. Capital characters are not converted to lowercase characters.
C | The characters A-Z and 0-9 can be entered. If a lowercase letter is entered, it is automatically converted to a capital letter.
N | Only the characters 0-9 can be entered.
x | Alla utskrivbara tecken kan skrivas in.
X | All printable characters can be entered. If a lowercase letter is entered, it is automatically converted to a capital letter.

För teckenmasken ""__.__.2000" definierar du t.ex. inmatningsmasken "NNLNNLLLLL", om du vill att användaren bara ska kunna mata in fyra siffror för att ange datum.

## Inramningsfärg

Specifies the border color for controls that have the "Border" property set to "flat".

## Intervall

Fastställer vilka intervall som ska läggas till eller dras ifrån varje gång som rotationsrutekontrollen aktiveras.

## Intervall

You can preset the value intervals for numerical and currency spin buttons. Use the up and down arrows of the spin button to increase or decrease the value.

## Justering/Justering av grafikobjekt

The alignment options are left-aligned, right-aligned, and centered. These options are available for the following elements:

1. Title of Label fields,

2. Content of text fields,

3. Content of table fields in the columns of a table control,

4. Graphics or text that are used in buttons.

   Alternativet Justering för knappar kallas för Grafikjustering.

## Listposter

Please note the tips referring to the keyboard controls.

Den fördefinierade standardlistposten anges i urvalskombinationsfältet Standard

Observera att listposterna som anges här bara tas med i formuläret om alternativet "Värdelista" är markerat under fliken Data under Typ av listinnehåll.

Om du inte vill att listposterna ska skrivas till databasen eller överföras till webbformulärmottagaren, utan i stället tilldelas värden som inte syns i formuläret, kan du ange andra värden för listposterna i en värdelista. Värdelistan anges på fliken Data. Välj alternativet "Värdelista" under Typ av listinnehåll. Ange sedan de värden under Listinnehåll som motsvarande synliga listposter i formuläret ska tilldelas. Ordningen i värdelistan måste vara korrekt för att tilldelningen ska bli korrekt.

När det gäller HTML-dokument motsvarar en listpost som anges på fliken Allmänt HTML-taggen <OPTION>. En post i värdelistan som anges på fliken Data under Listinnehåll motsvarar taggen <OPTION VALUE=...>.

## Liten ändring

## Max. rullningsvärde

Specify the maximum value of a scrollbar control.

## Max. textlängd

For text and combo boxes, you can define the maximum number of characters that the user can enter. If this control field property is uncertain, the default setting will be zero.

If the control is linked to a database and the text length is to be accepted from the field definition of the database, you must not enter the text length here. The settings are only accepted from the database if the control property was not defined ("Not Defined" state).

## Max. värde

For numerical and currency fields, you can determine the maximum value that the user can enter.

## Maximitid

Determines a time which can not be exceeded by another value introduced by the user.

## Min. rullningsvärde

When focused: (default) The value changes when the control has the focus and the wheel is pointing at the control and gets scrolled. Always: The value changes when the wheel is pointing at the control and gets scrolled, no matter which control has the focus.

## Namn

Each control field and each form has a "Name" property through which it can be identified. The name will appear in the Form Navigator and, using the name, the control field can be referred to from a macro. The default settings already specify a name which is constructed from using the field's label and number.

Om Du arbetar med makron måste Du tänka på att namnen på kontrollfälten måste vara entydiga.

The name is also used to group different controls that belong together functionally, such as radio buttons. To do so, give the same name to all members of the group: controls with identical names form a group. Grouped controls can be represented visually by using a Group Box.

## Navigation

Specifies to show or hide the navigation items in a selected Navigation bar control. Navigation items are the following: First record, Previous record, Next record, Last record.

## Navigationslist

Specifies whether to display the Navigation bar on the lower border of the table control.

## Ordbrytning

Displays text on more than one line. Allows you to use line breaks in a text box, so that you can enter more than one line of text. To manually enter a line break, press Enter.

## Orientering

Anger horisontell eller vertikal orientering för en rullningslist eller rotationsruta.

## Placera symbol framför

## Ram

You can also specify the target frame to display a URL that you open when you click a button that has been assigned to the "Open document or web page" action.

Om du klickar i fältet kan du markera ett alternativ i listan som anger i vilken ram nästa dokument ska laddas. Följande möjligheter finns:

Post | Innebörd
--- | ---
_blank | Det följande dokumentet visas i en ny, tom ram.
_parent | Det följande dokumentet visas i en parent, alltså en överordnad ram. Om det inte finns någon parent, visas dokumentet i samma ram.
_self | Det följande dokument visas i samma ram.
_top | Det följande dokumentet visas i ett toppfönster, d.v.s. i den högsta ramen i hierarkin. Om utgångsramen redan är ett toppfönster visas dokumentet i samma ram.

The "Frame" property is relevant for HTML forms, but not for database forms.

## Ram

With control fields that have a frame, you can determine the border display on the form using the "Border" property. You can select among the "Without frame", "3-D look" or "Flat" options.

## Rotationsknapp

Numerical fields, currency fields, date and time fields can be introduced as spin buttons in the form.

## Rubrik

The "Label" property sets the label of the control field that is displayed in the form. This property determines the visible label or the column header of the data field in table control forms.

When you create a new control, the description predefined in the "Name" property is used as the default for labeling the control. The label consists of the control field name and an integer numbering the control (for example, CommandButton1). With the "Title" property, you can assign another description to the control so that the label reflects the function of the control. Change this entry in order to assign an expressive label to the control that is visible to the user.

To create a multi-line title, open the combo box using the Arrow button. You can enter a line break by pressing Shift+CommandCtrl+Enter.

The "Title" property is only used for labeling a form element in the interface visible to the user. If you work with macros, note that at runtime, a control is always addressed through the "Name" property.

## Rullningslist

Adds the scrollbar type that you specify to a text box.

## Skala

Resizes the image to fit the size of the control.

## Standarddatum

Anger standarddatum.

## Standardknapp

The "Default button" property specifies that the corresponding button will be operated when you press the Return key. If you open the dialog or form and do not carry out any further action, the button with this property is the default button.

I ett givet dokument bör det bara finnas en knapp med den här egenskapen.

When using Web page forms, you might come across this property in search masks. These are edit masks that contain a text field and a Submit type button. The search term is entered in the text field and the search is started by activating the button. If the button is defined as the default button, however, simply hit Enter after entering the search term in order to start the search.

## Standardmarkering

Specifies the list box entry to mark as the default entry.

For a Reset type button, the Default selection entry defines the status of the list box if the reset button is activated by the user.

For a List box that contains a value list, you can click the ... button to open the Default selection dialog.

I dialogrutan Standardmarkering väljer du de poster som du vill märka ut som markerade när du öppnar formuläret med listrutan.

## Standardstatus

Specifies whether an option or a check box is selected by default.

För en återställningsknapp kan du ange kontrollens status om återställningsknappen aktiveras av användaren.

For grouped option fields, the status of the group corresponding to the default setting is defined by the "Default Status" property.

## Standardtext

Anger standardtext för en textruta eller kombinationsruta.

## Standardtid

Anger standardtid.

## Standardvärde

Sets the default value for the control field. For example, the default value will be entered when a form is opened.

For a Reset type button, the Default value entry defines the status of the control if the reset button is activated by the user.

## Standardvärde för rullning

Sets the default value for the scrollbar.

## Stil

Specifies whether Check boxes and Option buttons are displayed in a 3D look (default) or a flat look.

## Stor ändring

Ange värdet som ska läggas till eller dras ifrån när användaren klickar bredvid skjutreglaget vid rullningslisten.

## Synlig

Anger huruvida kontrollfältet är synligt i liveläge. Det är alltid synligt i utkastläge.

Observera att standardvärdet "Ja" inte behöver innebära att kontrollfältet visas på skärmen. Det finns andra begränsningar som spelar in och kan leda till att fältet inte visas. Kontrollfält som finns inuti dolda avsnitt i Writer förblir exempelvis osynliga tills avsnitten görs synliga.

Om egenskapen anges som "Nej" är kontrollfältet alltid dolt i liveläge.

I äldre versioner av OpenOffice.org förbigås denna egenskap utan att något meddelande visas (i dokument som den används i).

## Synlig storlek

Specifies the size of scrollbar thumb in "value units". A value of ("Scroll value max." minus "Scroll value min." ) / 2 would result in a thumb which occupies half of the background area.

If set to 0, then the thumb's width will equal its height.

## Tabbstopp

The "Tabstop" property determines if a control field can be selected with the Tab key. The following options are available:

Nej | When using the Tab key, focusing skips the control.
Ja | The control can be selected with the Tab key.

## Tecken för lösenord

If the user enters a password, you can determine the characters that will be displayed instead of the characters typed by the user. Under Password character, enter the ASCII code of the desired character. You can use the values from 0 to 255.

The characters and their ASCII codes can be seen in the Special Characters dialog (Insert - Special Character).

## Teckenmask

With masked fields you can specify a literal mask. A literal mask contains the initial values of a form, and is always visible after downloading a form. Using a character code for the Edit mask, you can determine the entries that the user can type into the masked field.

Teckenmaskens längd måste alltid vara lika med inmatningsmaskens längd. I annat fall kommer inmatningsmasken antingen att kapas eller fyllas ut med blanksteg till inmatningsmaskens längd.

## Teckensnitt

For control fields which have visible text or titles, select the display font that you want to use. To open the Font dialog, click the ... button. The selected font is used in control fields names and to display data in table control fields.

## Textrader avslutas med

För textfält väljer du radslutskoden som ska användas när text skrivs i en databaskolumn.

## Texttyp

Allows you to use line breaks and formatting in a control field, such as a text box or label. To manually enter a line break, press the Enter key. Select "Multi-line with formatting" to enter formatted text.

Om du markerar texttypen "Flera rader med formatering" kan du inte binda den här kontrollen till ett databasfält.

Den här kontrollen kallas för "Flerradig" och är till för en textkolumn i en tabellkontroll.

## Tidsformat

You can define the desired format for the time display.

## Trefaldig status

Specifies whether a check box can also represent ZERO values of a linked database apart from the TRUE and FALSE values. This function is only available if the database accepts three states: TRUE, FALSE and ZERO.

The "Tristate" property is only defined for database forms, not for HTML forms.

## Tusentalsavskiljare

With numerical and currency fields you can determine whether thousands separators are used.

## Upprepa

Specifies if the action of a control such as a spin button repeats when you click the control and hold the mouse button down.

## Utskrivbar

Specifies whether you want the control field to appear in a document's printout.

## Valutasymbol

In a currency field, you can predefine the currency symbol by entering the character or string in the "Currency symbol" property.

## Värde

In a hidden control, under Value, you can enter the data which is inherited by the hidden control. This data will be transferred when sending the form.

## Växla

Specifies if a Push button behaves as a Toggle Button. If you set Toggle to "Yes", you can switch between the "selected" and "not selected" control states when you click the button or press the Spacebar while the control has the focus. A button in the "selected" state appears "pressed in".

## Åtgärd

You can use navigation actions to design your own database navigation buttons.

The following table describes the actions that you can assign to a button:

Åtgärd | Beskrivning
--- | ---
Inget | Ingen åtgärd utförs.
Skicka formulär | Sends the data that is entered in other control fields of the current form to the address that is specified in Form Properties under URL. Skriv URL:en i formulärets "URL"-textruta för dataegenskap när du exporterar till en PDF-fil.
