Popups

Property

Description

Display threshold

The minimum number of characters before an Ajax-enabled text pop-up can be displayed.  The text pop-up will be displayed if the number of characters in the individual database field exceeds “Display threshold”.  “Display threshold” is used in conjunction with the “Pop ups” property.

The default value is the “default” string which represents the default value, typically 100 characters.  Any positive integer may be specified.  A text pop-up is always displayed if any invalid value is specified (e.g., characters or negative numbers).

Pop ups

Enables Ajax-based text and image pop-ups for the field.

True

Pop-ups are enabled for appropriate field types.

False

Pop-ups are disabled for appropriate field types.

Default

Use the Application Generation Options default.

Text pop-ups

Text pop-ups are displayed if the underlying database field type is a string or character field.  The “Display threshold” property specifies when text pop-ups will be displayed.

If the field’s Validation Type is Password, then no pop-up is displayed.

Image pop-ups

Image pop-ups are displayed only if the Control Type is ‘Image’.

If the underlying database field type is a string, no image scaling will occur on the underlying web page because the field is assumed to contain a URL and not the binary contents of an image.  However, the pop-up will be displayed.

Text and image pop-ups require Internet Explorer 7 or later.
