COLUMN-TYPEs and their Attributes

The attributes that are valid for column specification controls in general are not always available depending on the value of the attribute COLUMN-TYPE. Such a value might be, for example, "toggle button control". The column then consists of cells that can be used like toggle button controls. For these toggle-button cells, only a subset of the attributes is available.

The following table specifies which attributes are not applicable to a COLUMN-TYPE.

COLUMN-TYPE Attributes NOT Available
Input field control (All available.)
Selection box control (All available.)
Selection box item DIL-TEXT, HELP-ID, LENGTH, MODIFIABLE, STYLE, SUPPRESS-CHANGE-EVENT, SUPPRESS-CLICK-EVENT, SUPPRESS-DBL-CLICK-EVENT, SUPPRESS-ENTER-EVENT, SUPPRESS-ENTER-CELL-EVENT, SUPPRESS-LEAVE-EVENT, SUPPRESS-LEAVE-CELL-EVENT, VISIBLE.
Toggle button control LENGTH, STYLE, MODIFIABLE.
