Entry in Attributes Window | Represents
--- | ---
Table: |
Name | Handle name of the table (may be overwritten with another name)
Attributes... | Subordinate window for editing the table's attribute values. For more information, see Table Attributes Subwindow. (Normally, all attributes of a dialog element can be edited in the attributes window. Instead, the attributes of each column specification control in the table can be edited here. For reasons of space, the table's attributes are edited in a separate subwindow).
Columns: | Displays the handle name, the COLUMN-TYPE and the STRING attribute values of the column specification controls already created. If you select a column specification control, its attributes are displayed for editing. You can also select several column specifications for cutting and pasting.
Selected Column Specification: | In this group frame, you assign attribute values to the column specification controls selected in the "Columns" list box on the left.
Name | Handle name of the column specification control (may be overwritten with another name).
Type | COLUMN-TYPE attribute value for the selected column specification control. If the type is "Selection Box", the "Items" entry is enabled and enables you to define the number of selection box items and the source of their values.
