Property

Description

Title

Text to be displayed in the title bar.

Form ID

Unique resource ID number that must be an integer between 1 and 32767. Each form in a resource must have a unique ID. Forms and controls can have the same ID, but this is not recommended.

Name

Sets the name of the form.

x Position

Sets the horizontal position of the left edge of the form.

y Position

For BBj specific information, see BBj ResBuilder Form Properties .

Sets the vertical position of the top edge of the form. This coordinate does not take into account the space taken by menus or title bars. If a form has a menu and a title bar and its y position is set to zero, the menu and title bar will not be visible when a VPRO/5 program displays the form. The y position should be adjusted by 20 pixels to account for a menu and 20 pixels for a title bar. For example, if a form has a menu and a title bar and the y position is set to 60, the top of the title bar will appear 20 pixels from the top of the screen when a VPRO/5 program displays the form.
