You can define gadgets only within the form definition sequence,
layout form... exit.
setup form... exit.
A gadget definition (except for menu bars) has the format:
|
type |
name |
{common properties} |
{specific properties} |
For example:
|
paragraph |
.mytext |
at X... Y... |
width 10 lines 3 |
Common properties can appear in any order. These include: position, tag, tooltip, callback, anchor, docking.
Specific properties: the order of these commands generally matters. For definitive information about order, refer to the syntax graphs in the Software Customization Reference Manual.
Note:
Most gadget properties can be changed using the members and methods supported by each
gadget object.
The Software Customization Reference documentation contains detailed information on the methods available for editing each type of gadget. This section describes some of the most frequently used editing operations.
