Editor Part

The name of the component to be used for editing when the EditAppearance is set to ReusablePart. The part entered must conform to the following rule:

  • Reusable Part must have a default property. It is through this property that the current value will be set and get values in the list.

UsePicklist

This property has been added to PRIM_EVEF, PRIM_EVSE, PRIM_GDCL, PRIM_LVCL & PRIM_TVCL. It is a design-time only property. The purpose of this property is to specify whether the picklist of a field, once specified, is to be used as part of the formatting for the relevant component.

The primary purpose of this property is seen as a way to introduce Field Visualization concepts bit by bit to a large system. Older components can work as they always have with UsePicklist=FALSE whereas new components can have UsePicklist=TRUE to gain access to new functionality.

Editor

The actual Editor used by the column.

Example:A PRIM_EVSE ( SpinEdit ) has been defined for a numeric field that also includes a Picklist. If the UsePicklist property is FALSE then when visualized the SpinEdit will work as normal through the range of allowable numbers. If UsePicklist=TRUE then the SpinEdit will cycle through the picklist values.
