Introduction to PowerBuilder
Defining
Tag Values
You can store the
description about the control in the "Tag" property. Do not confuse it with
the "Text" property. The text property
displays text on the control, where as value of the tag property
does not get displayed on the screen. It is for programming
purpose only. Typical use of tag property is to display its value
as microhelp (help that is displayed on the status bar). If you
are using Version 4.0, you can define tag values for all controls
on the window, from a single place, by selecting "Edit/Tag
List".
If you are using version 5.0, you can define the same in the
"Properties" dialog box. You can also make use
of tag property for displaying help for the system you develop,
in the standard windows help format.
