Description
Form_Justification_Mode determines how data will be displayed. A different setting is supported for display when the form has the focus and when it does not.
Valid values:
| Constant | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Form_DisplayLeft | Form is displayed left justified |
| Form_DisplayRight | Form is displayed right justified |
| Form_DisplayCenter | Form is displayed centered |
| Form_EditLeft | Form is displayed left justified for editing |
| Form_EditRight | Form is displayed right justified for editing |
The settings Form_DisplayLeft, Form_DisplayRight, and Form_DisplayCenter determine how a masked form appears when it is not the focus object. The form can be displayed in the left justified, centered, or right justified.
The settings Form_EditLeft and Form_EditRight determine where the data appears when the form has the focus and is being used for entry. The edit and display settings should be IORed together.
Set Form_Justification_Mode 0 to (Form_DisplayCenter IOR Form_EditLeft)
When Form_DataType is set to a masked type the display and edit justification modes are set to appropriate values. Masked number and currency forms display and edit to the right. Masked date and string forms appear and are edited to the left.
Notes
Form_Justification_Mode has no effect on non-masked Form_DataTypes. Form_Justification_Mode is a design-time only property and thus cannot be changed Dynamically in a running program.
