Most objects in Quattro Pro have properties. For example, you can apply the Bold property to a cell, or the Name property to a sheet. You can use the @PROPERTY function or a Property macro command to automate the setting or viewing of properties. When you use the @PROPERTY function or a Property macro command, you need to use the correct syntax to view or change the values of the properties of an object. For further information, see Understanding syntax, Object precedence, and Identifying objects.
To display or change the property settings of an object:
@PROPERTY(Object.Property)
{GETOBJECTPROPERTY Cell, Object.Property}-see Quattro Pro Macros Help
{SETOBJECTPROPERTY Object.Property, Value}-see Quattro Pro Macros Help
{GETPROPERTY Cell, Property}-see Quattro Pro Macros Help
{SETPROPERTY Property, Value}-see Quattro Pro Macros Help
To display the syntax for specific objects:
Active Object properties
Common Chart Object properties
Drawn Chart Object properties
Fixed Chart Object properties
Common properties
Dialog Control properties
Menu Item properties
Notebook Object properties
Objects Sheet Icon properties
Understanding syntax
The tables in this section can consist of the following columns:
Property column - lists the objects and their properties.
Argument column - shows the correct name of the property to use in the @PROPERTY function or a Property macro command.
Syntax column - shows the syntax of the property settings. Italicized items in the Syntax column describe the type of data returned; items in normal type are entered (when setting a property). If vertical bars (|) separate items, then only those items are returned or allowed in the property. For example, "Both | Window | Panel | None" means that the property setting is either Both, Window, Panel, or None; you can enter only one of these items to set the property. Another example is Precision | Type, which indicates that either the type or precision setting is listed in that position. Items in angle brackets (<>) are optional.
Object precedence
If a situation arises where a property command could affect multiple objects, the object highest on the following list is identified:
1 Dialog box
2 Chart
3 Floating object
4 Named cell
Notes
A property command could affect multiple objects if the objects have the same name.
When the Objects sheet is active, you cannot identify a dialog box or chart. The icon representing the dialog box or chart is identified instead.
Identifying objects
To identify an object, use the following Syntax:
Object Syntax Example Note
Cell or Cells [NBName]BlockAddress A:A23 [NBName] is optional
Chart [NBName]ChartName Chart1 [NBName] is optional.
Chart object [NBName]ChartName:ObjName [NBName] is optional. ChartName: is not needed if the chart window containing the object is active.
Chart icon ChartName Chart icons can only be identified when the Objects sheet is selected.
Dialog box [NBName]DialogName Dialog1 [NBName] is optional.
Dialog control [NBName]DialogName:ObjName Dialog1:Bitmap1 [NBName] is optional. DialogName: is not needed if the dialog box containing the control is active.
Dialog icon DialogName Dialog icons can only be identified when the Objects sheet is selected.
Floating object [NBName]Sheet:ObjName [NBName] and Page: are optional.
Menu item Menupath /Edit/Paste special To identify a menu item, enter its path separated by forward slashes (/)
Notebook [NBName] You can change properties of the active notebook using Active_Notebook.Property.
Sheet Active_Page You can only read or set properties of the active sheet using this syntax.
Toolbar [ToolbarName] Chart and Drawing Tools
Toolbar control [ToolbarName]ObjName [ToolbarName] is not needed if the Toolbar containing the control is active.
Cell Property
The following examples show how you can manipulate the property of a cell: the Numeric Format property of the cells A:A23.
Example 1 (the setting is stored in B:C32)
{GETOBJECTPROPERTY B:C32,"A:A23.Numeric_Format"}
Example 2 (the link command formats A:A23 as General)
ON Init SET General TO A:A23.Numeric_Format
@PROPERTY("A:A23.Numeric_Format")
Example 3 (formats A:A23 as Currency with 2 decimal places)
The following examples show how you can manipulate the property of an object: the Disabled property of a bitmap button named Bitmap1 in a dialog box named Dialog1.
{SETPROPERTY} and {GETPROPERTY} work on the selected object, and just take the name of the property to manipulate.
Common properties
Many objects contain the same property. The following are some of the more common properties:
Color
Dimension
Font
Color property
Syntax
Red, Green, Blue
Description
Each component is an integer from 0 to 255; 0 indicates that none of the hue is present; 255 indicates maximum saturation for the hue. Black is 0,0,0 and white is 255,255,255.
You can also retrieve each of these color components individually. The following table lists the argument required to read or set an individual component of a Color property. Item is the word appearing in property dialogs and property tables that describes what color is being manipulated.
The following table lists properties and syntax for Color:
Property Syntax Description
Item_Color Item_Color;Red, Green, Blue The amount of red, green, and blue in the color
Red Item_Color.Red The amount of red in the color
Green Item_Color.Green The amount of green in the color
Blue Item_Color.Blue The amount of blue in the color
Dimension property
Syntax
X, Y, Width, Height
Description
Lets you specify the precise size and position of an object relative to the window containing it.
You can read or set an individual option of the Dimension property by using the following arguments:
The following table lists properties and syntax for the Dimension:
Property Syntax Description
Dimension Dimension X, Y, Width, Height
X Pos Dimension.X The distance in pixels between the left edge of the object and the left side of the window
Y Pos Dimension.Y The distance in pixels between the top edge of the object and the bottom edge of the window's title bar
Width Dimension.Width The width of the object in pixels
Height Dimension.Height The height of the object in pixels
Note
For drawn objects, measure Y Pos from the top of the chart background.
Lets you specify whether chart text is solid, a washed tone, or a bitmap. If the style is Solid or Wash, leave the BitmapName field empty. Shadow indicates whether text should have a drop shadow (Yes) or no shadow (No).
The following table lists properties and syntax for the Text Settings:
