2.13 RenderText Object

Description:

The RenderText object provides editing of character strings in certain controls where text is entered or displayed.

Details:

Using RenderText objects:

RenderText objects take the character string for the control and edit it according to a COBOL picture or date format. You can also select that no editing is performed.

You treat RenderText objects as properties of the containing control. For example, to refer to the CurrencySign for the RenderText object in a TextBox control, you code the following:

MOVE "CurrencySign" OF "RenderText"
                    OF TextBox1
  TO ...
