PML Customisation User Guide

Gadgets and their Attributes : Gadget Definition Commands

You can define gadgets only within the form definition sequence,

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. See the syntax graphs in the Software Customisation Reference Manual for definitive information about order.

Most gadget properties can be changed using the members and methods supported by each gadget object.

The Software Customisation Reference Manual contains detailed information on the methods available for editing each type of gadget. This section describes some of the most frequently used editing operations.
