FieldLabel Display Properties

FieldLabel tag display properties.

Options

Description

Label Text

Specifies the text to display. Normally, this defaults to the field name selected. However, you may override it with a different text string.

Default Label

You can either specify a text string directly or you can specify a variable of the form:

%ISD_DEFAULT%<TABLE NAME>%<FIELD NAME>

Example:

%ISD_DEFAULT%Products%ProductName

This variable specifies that the text label is the default label specified in the Databases folder for the ProductName field in the Products table.

Resource File Key

You can also dynamically fetch a text string from your application’s resource file (RESX) at application run-time by specifying a Resource Key. This is useful in multi-language applications that have multiple resource files, one for each language. Specify the Resource Key as a pass-through attribute on the Attributes tab. See FieldLabel Pass-Through Attribute Properties for details.

Display style

Hyperlink

The FieldLabel tag will display a clickable link, allowing the associated table column to be sorted.

Label

Generates a Label control tag. The label may include HTML formatting, including a surrounding <SPAN> HTML tag. The resulting value is enclosed in a <SPAN> tag. You can also manipulate the text programmatically in the Presentation Layer code.

You may also add formatting via pass-through attributes in the tag’s Properties dialog.

Literal

Generates a Literal control tag without adding any HTML formatting. The resulting value is not enclosed in a <SPAN> tag. You can manipulate the text programmatically in the Presentation Layer code.

You may not add formatting through pass-through attributes in the tag’s Properties dialog.
