Setting the Items in a Control
The Items tab, which appears on the Properties dialog box for list box controls,
comboboxes, listview controls, and radio button controls, determines the items that are
listed in the control. It also lets you determine the tab order of the items, and set the
vertical position (which determines the order of the items on the dialog box).
See
Editing Dialog Controls
All controls that share the same property name also share the same list of items.
Example: Suppose you make a radio button control, associate the property ITEM_LIST
with it, and add three items to it. Then on another dialog box, you make a listview
control and associate ITEM_LIST with it. If you view the Items tab for the listview
control, it contains the same items as for the radio button.
To add a new item, click Add.
To edit a selected item, click Details.
To remove a selected item from this control, click Delete.
To rearrange the order in which the items are displayed, click Move Up or Move
Down. To change the order in which the items appear on the dialog box, double-click
each item and set its Y coordinate.
When you click Add or Details, a details dialog box appears, where you can specify the
text that appears in the control.
The settings available on this tab vary depending on the type of control.
Text
The text of the button or list item.
Value
The value returned to the control's property when the item is selected.
Help Text
A short phrase that appears when the end user points to the control and pauses.
Icon Name
Select an icon from the list or click Set and select an icon file on your hard drive.
The icon you set appears next to this item in the list control. This option does not
appear for all types of controls.
Font Property
Select the property that defines a font. In most cases, select
_WiseDialogFontDefault to match the default text of other text on dialog boxes.
