WidgetBox Widget

This topic describes how to configure the WidgetBox widget.

General Tab

The following table describes the fields on the General tab of the Property Editor for this widget.
Field Description
Control name Type the name by which the widget is uniquely identified. No other widget or control on this form can have the same name.
Caption Type the text to appear in the title bar above the widget.

If you leave this field blank, the widget will not have a title bar.
Content Do the following:
  1. Click Search for WidgetBox widget.
  2. On the WidgetBox site, find the widget you want to use, click the Get Widget button, and then copy the Widget code to the Windows clipboard.
  3. In SBM Composer, paste the code into the Content box.
Important: If the code you type in this field includes any opening or closing braces ("{" or "}"), precede each of them with a backslash ("\"). Otherwise, SBM Composer tries to interpret the text inside of the braces as the name of a field or control on the form. This prevents the form from working properly. (If you paste the brace, you are prompted whether you want a backslash to be added. If you use the Treat '{' as a literal option in the string builder tool, a backslash is automatically added.)

Alternately, you can use the string builder tool to insert references to table fields and form controls.

Options Border: Select this check box to draw a thin line around the widget.

Scroll bars: Select this check box to include scroll bars in the widget. This provides more content than the allotted space.
Description Type an optional description of the widget.
