Object attributes are edited in the Properties palette. For specific attribute details, see the Component Object Definitions.
To set object attribute properties:
In Page view, add an object to the page. The object placeholder and the object Properties palette appear.
The attributes listed for each object will be different according to the object.
Set the object Type, if available. This attribute
is used for objects needing a start/close tag or if there are different
variations of the object, such as If-Else-ElseIf-EndIf. If the object
does not need to be closed, the Type attribute will not appear.
Some attributes must be set before you can proceed.
If the object you are working with requires
a name, type a unique name in the Name field.
If the object you are
using requires that you add or define tables, fields and/or conditions,
you can use an Editor. See Using
Editors.
If the object you are working with requires
that a recordset be defined, choose from the recordset field drop-down
in the properties palette. After the
recordset is defined, you can select a data field from the data field
field drop-down
in the properties palette.
If the object you are working with requires
that a recordset iterator be defined, choose from the iteratorName field
drop-down in the properties palette.
Complete the process by selecting the remaining
attributes (ex, FontSize), enter the attribute’s value in the Properties
Palette and click the check mark.
NetObjects Fusion does not verify object attribute values, so be sure to use valid syntax. Many objects have attributes that require values for them to function correctly.
