Hello,

I want to get the properties applied on a field, but the $fieldproperties function only allow me to get the properties that have been specified in PropertyList (by proc code)

I want to know if a field is editable or not, so I need to get the actives properties, even if this has been set by the IDE. 

Do you konw how can I get this ?

Is there also a way to know in runtime if a field is multiline or not ?

Thanks for advance.

Laurent.

    Hello

     

    All available Uniface functions and Uniface script statements are documented in the Uniface 10.4 library.

     

    For the field I believe $fieldinfo can give the information via the topic SYNTAX.

    An extract from the library:

    $fieldinfo 

    Return information about a field. 

    $fieldinfo ( Field , Topic ) 

    Example: if ($fieldinfo (FLD1,"syntax") = "HID") ...

     

    Description 

    This function is especially useful in writing generalized operations 

    and global ProcScript where the information needs to be determined at run time rather than built into the component.

     

    About topic SYNTAX:

    Associative list of applicable field syntax codes, as defined in the Repository. Only the following codes can be returned:

    HID,NED,NDI,NPR and DIM

    The returned value is not affected by fieldsyntax or $fieldsyntax.
